Nail Pops

Nail pops occur when the head of a nail pushes up and breaks through the surface of drywall or ceiling material. They can be caused by settling, temperature changes, or improper installation. Nail pops can have both aesthetic and functional implications for homeowners. Aesthetically, they can create bumps or craters in walls or ceilings, affecting the overall appearance of a room. Addressing nail pops typically involves resecuring the nails, applying joint compound, and repainting. However, it's crucial to identify and address the underlying cause to prevent recurrence. Consulting a professional may be necessary for widespread or structural issues.
