If the drywall in your home is in good condition, you probably do not think much about it. A hole, separated seam or crack, though, can be impossible to ignore. Drywall issues affect the value, appearance and comfort of your home. Fortunately, you do not have to put up with imperfect drywall. At Handyman Connection, we provide a variety of drywall services in
Kelowna, including drywall installation and repair.
Common Problems With Drywall
Drywall is a revolutionary building material that gives the insides of homes a polished and clean look. If workers do not install it correctly, however, you may notice seams, cracks or even sags in the drywall. On the other hand, even professionally installed drywall may eventually develop one or more of the following problems:
- Ordinary wear and tear: When you hang pictures in drywall, you may damage its structure. The same is true for placing furniture near walls, as routine impacts may cause the drywall to deteriorate.
- Children and pets: If children or pets live in your house, your drywall may have sustained damage from collisions, roughhousing or even nibbling.
- Water: If your home has a leaky pipe or goes through a natural flood, the drywall may sustain water damage. Water damage is often identifiable by discoloration, sagging or warping.
- Settling: All houses settle over time, with some settling more than others. When your house shifts, drywall seams may pull apart. Settling may also cause cracks or breaks in your drywall.
- Sports: In your basement or recreational room, you may have a dartboard, billiards table or ping-pong set. When playing with these items, you may inadvertently damage your drywall.
- Doorknob dents: Even if your home has doorstops or bumpers, a doorknob may dent or break through the drywall.
- Pests: Mice and other household pests can wreak havoc on your drywall. If you have pest damage, your drywall may crumble.
While it is certainly possible to damage drywall in a single incident, your damage may occur slowly over time. If you are planning to repair drywall damage, it may be a good idea to inspect all your home’s drywall for signs of disrepair.
