MATERIAL GUIDE
Mold on Drywall
Drywall is porous, and its paper facing can support mold when it stays damp. The extent of wetting and growth matters when deciding whether a section can be cleaned or should be removed.
Look for soft or damaged material
Swelling, crumbling, staining or prolonged dampness can indicate that the material has been compromised by water.
Check what is behind it
Wall cavities may contain insulation, framing and plumbing. If the wall became wet from a concealed leak, those materials may also need attention.
