Drywall, also known as plasterboard or wallboard, consists of two paperboards that sandwich gypsum, a powdery white or gray sulfate mineral. It was first opened up in the U.S. in 1916 when the United States Gypsum Corporation put out an item called "Sheetrock" intended to be a non-distorting, non-consuming divider covering. Since the gypsum drywall is permeable and dissolvable in water, getting it wet can compromise. Wet drywall will easily absorb water and develop substantial to pull off from screw or nails that hold it set up.

There are situations that drywall can be salvaged, and other times that you will need to have it replaced. In the event that you notice drywall in your home or business that seems wet, or has been exposed to moisture.
