The Truth About
Drywall Maintenance

Did you know that drywall is one of the most widely used materials in building houses? It is affordable, highly customizable, and quite durable. However, while it is easy to install and repair, you also need to do your part in maintaining your drywall to prolong its quality and durability.

Remove popped nails

Installing drywall requires the usage of nails to join panels and ceiling joists. This also means that overtime some nails can pop out or become loose. These can easily be repaired by removing the loose nails and replacing them with new ones. To finish the job, apply some drywall compound to make the surface smooth and look brand new again.

Check plumbing to avoid water damage

Heavy rainfall and faulty plumbing can damage your drywall if left unattended. Simply replacing the affected panels won’t give you the long-term solution that you need. Consult a professional to address the source of any possible leaks and roof damage so you can avoid further damage.

Repainting is a must

It is recommended that you give your drywall a regular refresh by applying a new coat of paint once it loses its shine overtime. This also gives it a protective layer against stains and the elements. Staining on your drywall can happen and is not irreversible. For minor stains, you can try sanding the surface and slightly wiping it with a damp cloth before repainting the affected panels. For major stains, you may need to replace the entire drywall and paint it accordingly.
