        "text": "Before a drywall contractor arrives, clear personal belongings, furniture, and storage boxes at least four to six feet away from the damaged wall or ceiling. Basements often function as primary storage areas, so creating a clear pathway from the exterior entryway allows the crew to safely transport drywall sheets, ladders, and compound buckets. If the drywall damage resulted from an active plumbing leak, ensure the underlying leak has been completely repaired and the framing has fully dried out before the repair appointment begins.",
