Can water-damaged drywall be dried instead of replaced?
Sometimes. Drywall that is only damp and still firm can dry in place once the leak is stopped; drywall that is soft, sagging or stained through is cut out and replaced.

In Bonneville Hills

(Bonneville Hills Neighborhood | Council District 6 (Salt Lake City)) The Bonneville Hills neighborhood consists of predominantly single-family homes built during the middle of the 20th century. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) The Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault generates large earthquakes of about magnitude 7 on average every 1,350 years, and the most recent was about 1,300 years ago. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) A brick building with rows of bricks turned endways every five to six rows may be unreinforced masonry, a pattern once used to add strength before steel reinforcing was required. (Unreinforced Masonry | Earthquakes (Utah Division of Emergency Management)) Utah updated its building codes in the 1970s to outlaw construction of new unreinforced masonry buildings, so URM buildings are typically older structures.

Quick answers
Is plaster repaired differently from drywall?
Yes. Loose plaster is re-attached to the lath before any patching, and the patch is built up in coats so it matches the thickness of the wall around it.
Does a ceiling crack mean a structural problem?
Most hairline ceiling cracks are cosmetic. A crack that is wide, growing, sagging or paired with a sticking door is worth a structural look before it is patched.
