This material, also known as gypsum board, plasterboard, and Sheetrock panels, is one of the most popular constructions and remodeling materials used for walls and ceilings alike. This material, which is basically a mixture of gypsum plaster held together by two paper layers, is so frequently used not only because it's versatile and long-lasting, but also because of its relatively low cost and the fact that its installation process is easy, again relatively. Drywall can be treated to be flame retardant, as well as to resist water damage. Of course, no Sheetrock panel is completely invincible, and over time, it may develop cracks or other types of damage. While it may be tempting to ignore these issues when you first notice them, especially if they're relatively small, doing so can pave the way for more serious problems later on.

If there are only small cracks in the exterior of the wall, for example, then the repairs will most likely consist of patching over the affected area or covering the holes and cracks with joint compound, a.k.a. drywall mud, and then painting over them. If the damage is more extensive, drastic measures could be called for. This includes the removal of the entire section and installing a new one in its place. If mold is present, then drywall replacement would usually be the recommended method, for health and safety reasons. Even if you can't see mold, its microscopic spores are dangerous to breathe and can lead to respiratory problems.
