Скачать или смотреть Drywalling Around Pipes (Why This Usually Goes Wrong)

In this video, I break down how to hang drywall on a pipe wall in a real-world retrofit situation — including how to check for mold, work around irregular framing, and fit drywall over multiple plumbing penetrations without forcing the board.

This bathroom was originally built as part of a shop addition, and nothing was square or standard. When the vanity was removed, a bulge in the wall raised concerns about water damage, so the wall was opened up to inspect the framing and plumbing.

You’ll see how I:

Lay out and transfer pipe locations accurately

Allow proper clearance around plumbing for expansion

Fit drywall over multiple penetrations without cracking or stress

Inspect the lower wall for moisture or mold

Patch, tape, and first-coat using quick-set mud efficiently

This is not new construction — it’s retrofit work, where the goal is control, clearance, and clean finishes using the conditions you’re given.

Walls Explained focuses on practical drywall knowledge, real jobs, and techniques that work in the field.
