        "text": "A storm-damaged room cannot be painted until the source of water intrusion is repaired and the interior framing and drywall are completely dry. Contractors must cut away compromised drywall, treat any moisture issues, and hang fresh sheetrock. Once the new drywall is taped and finished, painters apply an oil- or shellac-based stain-blocking primer over any water stains before applying topcoats. Painting directly over damp drywall or untreated water rings causes paint bubbling, peeling, and bleed-through.",
