Problems solved by technology

At some point and time, virtually every residential and / or commercial building will encounter an issue that requires a user to repair drywall.

In many instances, the need will arise from unintentional damage caused to a wall or other surface.

Although the process of cutting and removing the drywall is relatively simple and does not require specialized tools or knowledge, the same is not true for repairing the wall upon completion of the task.

As such, the sheetrock repair industry has been unable to provide a reliable wall repair system and method that are simple, fast, and strong.

Moreover, the traditional wall repair methods that use these systems are difficult and time-consuming.

This is because the traditional approach to repairing holes in sheetrock walls requires a series of fairly complex steps.

Unfortunately, even fast-curing repair compounds take approximately between 60-90 minutes to cure.

Although more recent efforts have seen the introduction of pre-mixed patches which can be adhered over the drywall hole, such items have met with limited commercial success because the lightweight structure of such patches often results in the same becoming indented or damaged with the lightest of contact.

Moreover, such systems do not allow a user to repeatedly access the drywall opening, as may be the case in instances where periodic maintenance and / or recurring problems occur.

As such, the user must repeat the laborious steps described above each time the need to access the opening are required.
