        "text": "Minor surface-level damage, like small cosmetic blemishes, might be manageable as a DIY project. However, if the drywall is wet, soft, or showing signs of mold, it's strongly recommended to hire a professional. Water damage often extends beyond visible areas, affecting insulation and framing.
