So... I had this. And I need ways to fix it.

Long story short, I had a poopy water leak (pipes are inside this thing), and I had to rip drywall.
Now I think about it, what alternative materials I can use there?
>cement board?
>EPS foam insulation + acrylic texture finish
>Plywood
>Tongue and Groove wood
I don't want to use drywall, since it is too messy to remove in case of leak

And yes, this is the nigger that caused a fucking water damage. A fucking gasket in this thing.

How about a naturally sourced hanging fabric?

It’s actually really hard to verify that the fibers are sourced from an organic fair trade supplier.

Just nail a tarp tub up there around the plumbing with a hose attached. Than use drywall.

What will happen to moisture resistant drywall if it gets soaked with water?
Idk, I never lived in house with drywall before.
