 Water leaks and humidity are the leading factors behind drywall damage. When a water pipe becomes compromised and breaks, the damages may not necessarily show the severity of the problem. Even a pin hole crack in ABS piping, or one faulty soldered joint, can lead to hundreds of dollars in damages if not immediately corrected. Staining and swelling, appearing on the drywall is the initial sign that there is an abundant source of moisture in the area. Untreated, this moisture can lead to joist water logging and rot, in addition to the spreading of mold and mildew. These are hazardous if the mold spores are breathed in and can lead to may serious illnesses and breathing problems.
 With damages becoming as extensive as the spreading of mold, John McLellan Contracting has renovated entire drywall stucco ceilings. The removal of the contaminated drywall is paramount, before the problem escalates. A product known as Mold Control, an agent can stop and eliminate the spread mold, is applied to the joists and studs that are not structurally compromised.
