Drywall absorbs water rapidly. By the 2 hour mark, water had already gone 6 inches into the drywall, and soaked the wooden stud behind it. Capillary action causes the moisture to steadily travel up the wall, soaking everything on its way. This moisture causes the drywall to swell and disintegrate. The lumber studs will also absorb moisture. Eventually, this can cause them to warp and rot. If there is insulation, that will also sponge up water and create unpleasant odors. All of this wet material makes a perfect breeding ground for mold, which carries with it a whole new host of problems.
