How to avoid drywall damage

Drywall and plaster as we all know, can easily be damaged by the most innocuous items. Obviously kicking and punching walls aren’t good for them but how about all the subtle causes of damage.

Water leaks – please please if you find a water leak react to it and get the leak stopped. When the drywall is being repaired, it is prudent to cut out and inspect the inside of the drywall as mold can build up very quickly on the inside of walls. Even a small amount of mold can grow and cause a problem days, weeks or months later. Give us a call straight away and we can help you; 801-883-9220.

Furniture – So many drywall repairs are caused by furniture. Try to keep all furniture at least 1 inch away from any walls this will prevent damp spots building up and the surface being damaged. It also reduces the chances of the furniture getting bumped into the wall and damaging it. This also goes for dressers and wardrobes.
