Best Answer

If one side of the drywall is green, it is actually green board. Green board is made with concrete, and is intended for high humidity areas. It will not mold or mildew the same way normal drywall will in moist conditions.

How do you locate receptacles that have been covered by drywall?

To find hidden receptacles that have been covered by drywall you have to look down the wall. From one end of the wall and at an elevation of the hidden receptacle look down the wall for a bulge in the drywall. Use a stud finder to find the stud that the receptacle is attached to and determine which side of the stud it is on. Take a small shanked screw driver and poke it through the drywall to see if you can hit the box. Once the box is found use a key hole saw to cut out the drywall and let the box pop flush with the drywall surface. Install a couple of new drywall screws near the box to secure the drywall.
