Thanks to water leaks and floods, you might find your client's home looking more like an indoor pool than an actual residence. This is bad news for the walls, particularly the drywall. Drywall, for all its practicality, easily soaks up water, becomes a breeding ground for mold, and quickly loses its structural integrity. But not every water loss warrants a full drywall tear-down.
Overreacting to water damage can lead to unnecessary repairs and escalate a minor leak into a major renovation headache for your clients. There’s a tricky balance to strike, especially when stress levels are high and clear answers feel submerged in murky water.
