Q: Is it worth buying a wallpaper steamer?

• <div><p>Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they&rsquo;re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It&rsquo;s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.</p></div>
