I don't know that I would be too worried about the ceiling drywall though. Moisture shouldn't be a big issue if you have good ventilation and a couple good coats of paint.

Whatever was going on with our vent ductwork caused some condensation to drip back down and damaged the drywall around the bathroom fan. I was hoping that using a better material, if any issues arose, it wouldn't get turned to mush.
We had heard about that doubling up the sheetrock, but I wasn't sure if that was just a "hack" for lack of a better term. Is it common practice to layer over like that? I just don't want to get around to selling the house eventually and getting derogatory feedback from the home inspector.
If we did layer over, what is the process? Just scrape the texture off and lay it right against the old stuff with no other prep?
