Drywall is easily susceptible to aging and other types of damage that call for choosing an expert contractor like those at our company. Reference the below for several of the most commonly seen causes of drywall damage:

• Water damage caused by a leak from a broken water line. Even though drywall is very tough, it may become damaged when exposed to water for too long.
• Moisture and humidity fluctuation can cause your plasterboard or gypsum board to expand or shrink.
• Installation defects like improper cuts using a drywall knife at the corners of openings, or incorrect joint finishing.
• Damaged drywall cornerbead that suffers abusive mishandling can become dented and damaged throughout its use.
• Pesky termite home invasion. Although termites will not necessarily eat the drywall, termites will destroy the paper and glue covering the drywall board. When the drywall becomes wet, the paper soaks up water and invites them in. They will nest between your painted exterior wall and your drywall as they eat their way and destroy the walls.
• Frost heaving home foundations can also result in differential movement in structural walls that result in tearing or cracking in plasterboard, gypsum board, or drywall.
• Furniture scuff marks when moving heavy or bulky furniture around your house may break into the drywall and cause holes.
• Popping nails through your home’s drywall that hasn’t been correctly fastened.
• A shrinking wood frame may also force nails to pop.
