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.

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.
