How do I repair drywall damage caused by water

Sure thing! Here are three different ways to tackle that drywall damage:

**Simple Patch-Up**: First, let the area dry out completely. Once it's dry, cut out the damaged section of the drywall with a utility knife. Then, patch it up with a new piece of drywall, tape the seams with joint tape, and apply joint compound over it. Sand it smooth once it’s dry, and paint to match the rest of the wall!

**For Small Dings**: If it’s just a small water stain or a little bit of bubbling, you might not need to replace the whole section. Just scrape off any loose material, let it dry, then apply a primer to seal it. After that, a couple of coats of matching paint should do the trick!
