Q: At what moisture level does drywall need to be replaced?

• <div><p>While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.</p></div>

Q: Will Venetian plaster increase the value of your home?

• <div><p>Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if I have plaster or drywall?

• <div><p>You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets). </p></div>

Q: What damages plaster?

• <div><p>Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage. </p></div>

Q: Is drywall toxic to the environment?

• <div><p>Drywall can be toxic to the environment and to humans in some cases. As drywall breaks down in a landfill and comes in contact with other organic chemicals, it can create hydrogen sulfide gas or leach into the groundwater. Additionally, the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/99-113/default.html">CDC recommends</a> methods for controlling the inhalation of drywall dust when handled. While the common ingredients of drywall&mdash;gypsum, silica, and mica&mdash;are naturally occurring, they can cause irritation in some humans. </p></div>
