        "text": "Standard drywall uses natural gypsum and paper facing, which can be vulnerable in subterranean spaces subject to seasonal dampness, whereas moisture-resistant board—often called greenboard or purple board—is treated to resist humidity. For finished basements in Colorado, moisture-resistant drywall is strongly recommended for perimeter walls near concrete foundations, laundry spaces, and basement bathrooms. While standard drywall performs adequately on dry interior partition walls, upgrading to moisture-resistant panels during a repair provides a critical barrier against moisture damage, helping protect your basement investment over the long term.",
