Hey everyone! So, I was removing shelves from my kitchen when I stumbled upon a pretty scary sight ?. I need advice: is this something I can tackle myself or should I call in a professional? I'm not a total newbie with DIY projects, but I'm not sure if this is beyond my skill set. Feel free to roast me if needed, but I genuinely want some help!

It really comes down to how confident you feel with DIY fixes. Since you're asking, it suggests that maybe you're not super experienced yet, and that's totally fine! If it’s just a surface issue, you might only need to patch it up a little. But once you start removing the drywall, keep an eye out for anything else that's more serious. If the wall doesn't show major damage, you're probably in the clear to handle it yourself, especially since it's behind cabinets where it'll be out of sight. If it's not too extensive, moisture-resistant drywall is a good idea, but regular drywall can work too as long as you're careful about sealing things up properly.

Thanks for the advice! I’m planning to take a good look once the drywall is out.
