Educate readers on recognizing various drywall problems and their causes. Water damage: yellowing, bubbling, soft spots – requires identifying the water source first, then replacement of affected sections. Impact damage: holes from doorknobs, furniture, or accidents – needs patching or panel replacement depending on size. Cracks: vertical/horizontal cracks from settling, stress cracks around doors/windows – may indicate structural issues. Nail pops: nails pushing through surface due to wood shrinkage – simple fix but indicates improper installation. Mold and mildew: black spots, musty smell – requires professional remediation. Tape failure: bubbling or peeling seams – needs proper re-taping. For each type, explain inspection methods, severity levels, and appropriate repair techniques. Include photos or diagrams. Emphasize that proper diagnosis is crucial and your company offers free inspections to assess damage accurately.
