Comment on Removal Of Bathroom Black Mold in Drywall by drywallinfoman

There was mold above the ceiling, but I cleaned that region pretty thoroughly. The mold in the attic was partially due to the vent pipe disconnecting at some point. It is SO difficult to work in tight attics like this, but once the ceiling drywall was off, I could get at things.

We have not had really cold weather yet, but so far there is no mold. I think the key is insulating behind the drywall good enough so the drywall stays warm rather than cold once winter cold temps set in.

With all that moisture, you are lucky you didn’t get mold infestation behind the drywall itself. That would have made a bad problem even worse.

Comment on Fixing Drywall Nail Pops by drywallinfoman

richard lamkin I would be a bit upset too! It is not normal from everything I have heard. The nail pops seem to indicate that the house is shifting. Talk to a qualified builder on this topic - the original builder should possibly have to pay for the repairs.

my home is 10 months old and I have started getting them. I have a history maker home.

History maker is telling me this is normal. For a 200k house it should not be normal.

thus the statement over time is incorrect. Also I moved from a home that was built in 1982 and it never had nail popl

Yes, I think you are correct on this. Any type of shifting, including what you describe, will cause this. Could be that the drywall was high in moisture when installed and then lost moisture, especially in very dry conditions. The shrunk in drywall then results in the nail pop.

Hi, i have the same issues with nails, but i also have another theroy about nail pops, since nail pops can be all over walls and ceilings both, it cant just be from leaning up on the sheetrock. I believe it happens over the period of seasons. In winter wood swells with moisture and cold air, and summer the wood dries out with heat and dryness, so the nail is pressed out by the swelling and then even more when the wood dries out, causing it to poke out a bit and by the movement. Of the settling foundation also. Good luck in your wesite and drywall business, keep up the great job on helping others with the great info.
