If it's between studs you might be able to add a horizontal brace without having to tear out and repair much drywall.

- jessaustin 5y agoYes this is a standard thing to do, often called "blocking". Either the framing carpenter or the plumber should do it in new construction. For old work, it's possible to cut out only the drywall where the blocking will be placed, and fasten using screws driven diagonally into the adjoining studs.
