Soft or swollen drywall in your Havre de Grace home? Before repainting, take a closer look at what may be happening beneath the surface. Moisture can weaken drywall and affect the finish, so fresh paint alone may not address the underlying issue.
A few things to assess:
• Check whether the area feels soft, looks swollen, or has bubbling paint.
• Notice whether the damage is near a window, plumbing fixture, or other place where moisture may enter.
• Consider whether the surface is dry and sound before planning repair and repainting.
If the drywall is still damp or the source of moisture is unclear, identify and address that concern before repairs and paint.
