Drywall Nail Pops

Drywall nail pops aren’t just a cosmetic issue but a warning sign of foundation damage. DIY methods conceal nail pops for a while but won’t address the underlying problem. Avoid expensive foundation repairs by conducting a thorough inspection with a trained professional.

Matvey Foundation Repair will inspect your home for foundation damage and offer proven solutions. Our custom-engineered products stabilize your foundation, address moisture-related concerns, and prevent nail pops from reappearing.

What Are Nail Pops?

Nail pops appear when a nail pulls away from drywall. While not a structural issue, these small, cracked circles often indicate foundation issues in your home, so it’s best not to ignore or paint over them.

Along with nail pops, signs of foundation damage include:

• Drywall cracks
• Sticking windows and doors
• Uneven floors
• Floor gaps
• Cracked chimneys

We suggest contacting a specialist like Matvey Foundation Repair at the first sign of a problem. Failing to take action worsens your foundation problems, resulting in more costly repairs.

Why Your Home In Seattle Has Drywall Nail Pops

Nail pops commonly appear on drywall in Seattle homes due to:

Foundation Settlement

A settling foundation is the most likely cause of drywall nail pops. Poor drainage, construction mistakes, and fluctuating soil conditions contribute to foundation settlement.

Inadequate Building Materials

Inferior drywall or nails often cause nail pops, especially as your home ages.

Shrinkage of Wood Framing

Wood framing often shrinks as it dries out, putting pressure on drywall nails.

Can You Repair Drywall Nail Pops?

The best way to repair drywall nail pops is by identifying the underlying cause. Patching drywall and DIY fixes are only temporary, so the problem will soon return.

Our foundation piers and other proprietary products stabilize your home and prevent nail pops from returning. We customize these solutions based on your specific needs.
