What Is Basement Drywall?
Basement drywall in Greenville uses different materials than upper floors because basements live in higher humidity and occasional moisture exposure. The standard choice is moisture-resistant green board (USG Sheetrock Mold Tough or National Gypsum Hi-Impact XP) on perimeter walls. For basements with any history of moisture, we step up to mold-resistant purple board or fiberglass-faced board like CertainTeed GlasRoc, which won't grow mold even when wet. Vapor barrier placement matters — South Carolina's climate calls for a vapor-permeable approach so framing can dry inward, not be sealed in.

Why Choose Professional Basement Drywall in Greenville?
Basements punish bad drywall choices. Standard 1/2-inch board on a Greenville basement perimeter wall will eventually grow mold along the bottom edge — we've torn out plenty of it. Moisture-resistant or mold-resistant board costs only marginally more and lasts the life of the home. We also coordinate with framers and waterproofers when needed so the wall assembly works as a system.
