Drywall damage might seem minor at first.
A small crack.
A dent from furniture.
Water stains after a leak.
But what looks cosmetic can quickly become structural if ignored.
That’s why homeowners turn to experienced contractors like Aftermath Contracting for proper drywall repair and finishing.
What Causes Drywall Damage?
Drywall is durable — but not invincible.
Common causes include:
water leaks
plumbing failures
foundation settling
accidental impact
humidity fluctuations
poor past repairs
nail pops from framing movement
Ignoring small issues allows moisture and air gaps to spread behind the walls, leading to larger repairs later.
Drywall is part of your home’s protective envelope.
Mold is one of the most common — and most underestimated — problems homeowners face. It often starts hidden behind walls, under flooring, or inside ceilings after moisture exposure. By the time you see it, the issue is usually bigger than it looks.
Painting your home might seem simple — until you try to do it yourself. Uneven coats, messy edges, the wrong finish, and unexpected prep work can quickly turn a weekend project into weeks of frustration.
Gutters don’t get much attention — until they fail.
Windows do more than let in light — they affect your energy bills, comfort, home value, and even your safety. Many homeowners don’t realize how much outdated or damaged windows are costing them every year.
For many homeowners, the basement becomes wasted space.
A paint project should be simple.
When people think about fire damage, they imagine flames.
