Drywall Water Damage Repair in Salt Lake City
Water-damaged drywall may look like a minor issue — but if not addressed quickly, it can cause mold, odor, and structural problems. At Vivid Water Damage & Restoration, we specialize in drywall water damage repair as part of our specialized restoration services in Salt Lake City and nearby areas.
Common Signs of Drywall Water Damage
- Soft, swollen, or sagging walls or ceilings
- Peeling paint or bubbling texture
- Musty odors or visible mold spots
- Yellow, brown, or dark stains
If you notice any of these signs, it’s critical to act fast. Damp drywall can become a breeding ground for mold within 24–48 hours.
What Causes Drywall Water Damage?
- Burst pipes behind walls
- Roof or window leaks
- Flooding in basements or lower floors
- Overflowing tubs, toilets, or sinks
Our Drywall Water Damage Restoration Process
- Inspection: We locate and assess all affected drywall using moisture meters and thermal imaging.
- Drying: Industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers remove moisture from framing and insulation.
- Removal: Severely damaged drywall is safely removed to prevent mold growth.
- Disinfection: We apply antimicrobial treatments before rebuilding.
- Reconstruction: Our team patches, finishes, and repaints new drywall to match your space.
Can Wet Drywall Be Saved?
It depends on the extent and duration of water exposure. If drywall has been wet for more than 24 hours or shows signs of bulging, mold, or disintegration — it should be replaced, not dried. Our team will evaluate each area to determine the safest and most cost-effective approach.
