Drywall
Drywall has several common names, such as gypsum board and sheetrock. It is mainly used in the construction of walls, but also has other uses. A plaster is made of gypsum, poured flat and smooth, and then wrapped in paper. The pieces are joined with strips of paper, and cemented down with a compound known as "mud." After the mud is dry, it is sanded and the wall is finished with paint, texture, wallpaper, or a variety of other creative means.

Is it safe to have electrical wiring behind the drywall of your shower?
On wiring a house it is common practice to have other circuits in the wall cavity passing by the built in shower stall. Electrical outlets that face outward from the shower stall wall that service another room is also common practice. There is no danger from electrical shock as the shower is isolated from the wires by wall board and usually ceramic tiles that make up the shower stall or in some cases a fiberglass shower enclosure.

This is something I wondered when I gutted my fiberglass shower enclosure and noticed that there was an electrical box behind one of the walls servicing a hall light switch and yet another box on the back wall behind the shower enclosure serving the light fixture and exhaust fan to the master bath. It doesn't feel right to have electrical so close to water. In my townhouse they only used gypsum board behind the fiberglass enclosure with no plastic vapor barrier. So, I have to think about how to remodel the shower with these two electrical boxes in the mix.

It should be kept dry. Once it gets wet, it loses its integrity and it is no longer viable. It is no longer Dry Wall or Wet Wall but it is Garbage.
