Signs that your drywall may require professional repair include widespread cracks, bulging or sagging sections, extensive water damage, or visible mold growth. These issues can indicate underlying structural problems that need to be addressed by a qualified professional. Ignoring such signs can lead to further deterioration of the drywall and compromise the integrity of your walls. Therefore, it's crucial to seek timely assessment and repair to ensure the safety and durability of your home's interior.

Painting over water-damaged drywall without addressing the underlying issue can exacerbate the damage and lead to mold growth. Before painting, it's essential to identify and rectify the source of the water damage. This may involve repairing leaks, drying out the affected area thoroughly, and treating any mold or mildew growth. Once the drywall is properly repaired and dried, you can proceed with painting using suitable primer and paint to restore the appearance of your walls.

While drywall can support moderate weight, it's essential to take precautions when hanging heavy objects to avoid causing damage to the walls. Using appropriate anchors, such as toggle bolts or anchors designed for drywall, distributes the weight more evenly and reduces the risk of damage. 

Alternatively, mounting heavy objects directly onto studs provides more secure support. Avoid using nails or screws directly into the drywall, as they may not provide sufficient support and can cause damage over time, compromising the structural integrity of the wall. Taking these precautions ensures that your walls remain intact and stable, allowing you to safely hang heavy objects without risk of damage.
