Drywall does not always need replacement

Decisions depend on saturation, contamination, physical damage, access to the cavity and whether the assembly can be dried appropriately.

Reasons removal may be considered

  • Sewage or significant contamination
  • Soft or crumbling board
  • Swelling or severe deformation
  • Need to access wet insulation
  • Inability to dry the assembly adequately in place
