Assessing and Dealing with Specific Damages after Water Damage Cleanup

Do I need to replace wet drywall?

Assess the severity of water damage to determine whether drywall replacement is necessary or not:

  • Drywall exposed to water for a short time (less than 24 hours) and has dried out may not require replacement.
  • Drywall that is saturated, has weakened or discolored, or has mold growth should be replaced promptly.
