        "text": "You need professional interior reconstruction once the active leak is stopped and the moisture extraction phase is complete. Signs that require repairs include sagging ceilings, bubbling drywall, crumbling plaster, detached baseboards, and swollen flooring. If sheetrock feels spongy or shows yellow water stains that bleed through primer, surface patching will not hold. In many cases, homeowners must decide whether to spot-patch or rebuild full wall sections. Replacing full drywall sheets often yields a flatter finish and stronger structural bond than trying to piece together multiple small patches across an entire ceiling.",
