Q: What are some common causes of drywall damage?

• <div><p>Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: </p><ul><li><p><b>Water damage</b> from roof leaks or leaky pipes. </p></li><li><p><b>Small holes</b> caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. </p></li><li><p><b>Wall dents</b> stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. </p></li><li><p><b>Wall cracks </b>that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. </p></li><li><p><b>Nail pops</b> from nails and screws in the walls. </p></li><li><p><b>Large holes</b> that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What type of plaster is the most durable?

• <div><p>With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.</p><p>However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.</p></div>

Q: Should water-damaged plaster be repaired or replaced?

• <div><p>Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to use studs for a TV mount?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can&rsquo;t find the studs or there simply aren&rsquo;t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It&rsquo;s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you&rsquo;re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors. </p></div>

Q: What tool is used to sand plaster?

• <div><p>The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you&rsquo;re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease&mdash;and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.</p></div>

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage:

Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes.
Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations.
Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents.
Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity.
Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls.
Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.
