I recently had my washing machine over flow and flood part of my house. I had a restoration company come and dry out the drywall for the past 2 days. During that period they removed all carpet, baseboards and some dry wall. They also drilled holes in the bottom of the drywall. The holes are 3/4in and are spaced out about every 8 inches. My question is should I patches these holes prior to putting on new baseboard on? The new baseboard would completely cover the holes.

Thanks in Advance,
Kurt

Welcome to the forums Kurt!

I'd leave them, if you patch them, you run the risk of the baseboard not laying flat.
