Drywall Repair Tampa

You may not even know what caused the problem that prompted you to call drywall repair. Tampa homes can suffer all sorts of issues that affect ceilings or walls, and sometimes it's very clear what caused the damage because you saw the impact happen. But it's actually pretty common for the source of the damage to be a complete mystery. Here are some of the potential causes of drywall damage that we are frequently called to deal with in Tampa and the surrounding areas:

• Screw and nail holes
• Bubbling, loose or peeling joint tape
• Moisture damage such as softened or stained drywall
• Cracks and popping drywall nails caused by the building shifting and settling
• Gouges or scratches from cats and dogs
• Gouges caused by aggressive popcorn ceiling removal
• Normal wear and tear damage that slowly gets worse over time

If you don't care all that much about how drywall damage looks, you may assume that it's not really necessary to call a drywall repair company. Tampa households can actually experience some surprising benefits from professional drywall repair that have nothing to do with appearances, though. Issues like cracks and holes can cause serious problems for your home that end up costing you extra money and making your home less comfortable. Here are some of the big benefits of experienced, professional drywall repair in Tampa:

• Reduce Energy Costs: Cracks and holes in your walls or ceiling let heat and cool air from your HVAC system escape inside the walls, which gives your HVAC system a lot more air volume to cover and forces it to run a lot more frequently. Naturally, that extra energy consumption is reflected in higher charges on your energy bills. Tampa drywall repair can make your home more energy efficient by reducing your HVAC's energy usage to save you money.
• Reduce Noise Between Rooms: If you are wondering why you've been hearing every little noise from the next room, it could be a problem that needs to be solved by drywall repair. Tampa homeowners often find that drywall damage reduces sound separation between rooms, which can make it nearly impossible to get some peace and quiet. Having your local handyman deal with holes and cracks will help muffle sounds so you can relax.
• Discourage Insect and Rodent Infestations: Rodent and insect pests such as mice, rats, termites, ants and cockroaches like to find and use existing holes and cracks to access the inside of your walls, which obviously makes your home far less sanitary and comfortable for you. By eliminating those access points, you can discourage major pest infestations and keep your home just for you and your family instead of a bunch of unwanted "visitors."
• Prevent Fire From Spreading Rapidly: Drywall isn't completely fireproof, but it does usually contain chemical additives that make it more flame retardant. Damage such as holes can compromise that ability by letting flames get inside walls where they can attack the building's support structure and spread rapidly to other rooms, while intact drywall can slow the spread of fire so there's more time to get people and pets to safety and get the fire put out.
• Maintain Business Credibility: If you have a customer-facing business, you're already aware that it's helpful to keep up appearances around your commercial property. It's not necessarily reasonable for customers to judge a book by its cover, but something like a crack or stain in drywall can cause your company to lose credibility with your customers and they end up taking their business elsewhere. Don't let wall and ceiling damage undermine all your hard work when it can be corrected efficiently and effectively by our Tampa drywall repair experts.

This question does make sense because there actually are a lot of things around your home that (in some situations) may be better off being replaced altogether rather than repaired, from flooring to doors and more. That's not the case with drywall, mainly because of the nature of the material and how it's repaired. Drywall repair is almost always going to be the best, most cost-effective solution to get your walls and ceilings back in great shape. Even if an entire panel has been destroyed by someone losing their balance and crashing through the wall, just that panel can be replaced by a drywall repair specialist rather than the entire room's worth of drywall. The only exception would be if you have very widespread damage that is affecting every single panel of drywall in a room or house, like damage from a fire or flood, and in that type of situation you'll probably need to replace a lot more than just the drywall.
