How We Fix It
When we repair baseboards, we start by removing the damaged baseboard and checking the wall for moisture. If drywall damage has occurred, we remove the damaged drywall and perform a drywall patch.
After repairing the wall, we replace the damaged baseboard with a new piece of baseboard, then caulk and paint to finish the repair.
