What is a wet wall?

A wet wall is typically a wall in a building that contains pipes, drains, and other plumbing fixtures. It is called a wet wall because it is constantly exposed to water and moisture due to these fixtures, which can make it prone to mold, mildew, and other water damage. Wet walls are typically found in bathrooms and kitchens, where water is used frequently. They are typically constructed with materials that are resistant to water damage, such as cement board or moisture-resistant drywall, and may also include waterproofing membranes or barriers to protect the underlying structure. To prevent damage and ensure proper functioning of the plumbing fixtures, it is important to regularly maintain and inspect wet walls for any signs of water damage or leaks.
