A room of floated and taped drywall that looks like it is ready to be finished.
When a restoration company places drying equipment, drywall can be dried within 3 to 5 days in most cases. However, in some cases, the drywall will require removal due to certain circumstances during water damage.
- If drywall is affected by "grey or black water" that carries contaminates- The drywall will have to be removed and replaced. Examples of this type of water can be found here.
- If drywall has wet insulation in the wall cavities, the drywall and insulation will have to be removed and replaced.
- If drywall has double layers, the drywall's layers must be removed and replaced.
- If drywall was not professionally dried and secondary damages occurred- The drywall will have to be removed and replaced.
