Common Drywall Problems
It’s inevitable, drywall damage is all too common for many homeowners. Dings, dents and holes can quickly make your room look unkempt. These simple issues require meticulous repairs with attention to detail. If not properly taken care of, it can result in an uneven and unappealing appearance or, worse, structural damage to your walls.
If you have any of these issues below, our CertaPro Painters® house painting experts have years of experience in drywall repair, making it easy for them to deliver impeccable results quickly and efficiently.
There are many factors that can damage drywall, leaving behind holes, cracks, dents and damp patches of all sizes. Some of the most common types of damaged drywall include:
Holes
Holes are usually caused by accidental forceful impact, like a door being slammed open or someone falling into the wall. Depending on what made the impact, you could be looking at anything from a small puncture to a worrying crater.
Removals
Removing anything attached to the wall, whether it be tile, wallpaper, or even objects like mirrors, can lead to pieces of drywall coming off.
Water damage and moisture
Usually caused by leaking pipes, water damage weakens the structural integrity of the drywall and can even be a health hazard. Even if there are no visible water patches, moisture in the walls or ceilings can lead to other problems like cracks and loosened joint tape.
Popping Nails
This happens most often when a nail is not securely attached to a joint or stud and pops through the drywall.
Dented corner bead
The corner bead is a piece of metal used to join two sheets of drywall at a corner. It can become dented with impact or regular wear and tear.
Furniture Scuffs
The corner bead is a piece of metal used to join two sheets of drywall at a corner. It can become dented with impact or regular wear and tear.
Loved the communication, how hard the team worked to make the room look fantastic, answered questions and with all of this, finished a day early!
Again, the young men busted there backs the entire time they were there.
Thinking of the next job I can have them go.

Drywall Frequently Asked Questions
The most common signs indicating that your drywall may need attention include visible holes or dents, water damage or staining, cracks, especially around doors and windows, sagging or bulging sections, and mold growth on the surface. Regular wear and tear can also lead to the tape between drywall sheets peeling or bubbling. If you notice any of these issues, contact CertaPro Painters® of Central and Lower Bucks County
Small holes and cracks can often be repaired quite easily using DIY methods. For tiny holes, like those from nails or screws, spackling paste can be used to fill the hole, which is then sanded smooth and repainted. For slightly larger holes or cracks, a patching compound may be necessary, and sometimes, a piece of mesh tape is used to reinforce the repair. However, for larger holes, cracks that continue to reappear, or areas with extensive damage, it's best to seek professional repair to ensure a seamless and durable fix.
It is not always necessary to repaint the entire wall after a drywall repair, especially if the repair is small and you have matching paint. Professionals can often blend the repair into the surrounding area so well that it becomes invisible. However, for larger repairs or when the existing wall color has faded or is no longer available, repainting the entire wall may be recommended for a uniform appearance. Additionally, in rooms with a lot of natural light, slight color differences can be more noticeable, making a complete repaint more desirable.
Safety is paramount during drywall repair. Protective eyewear and dust masks or respirators should be worn to protect against dust and debris, especially when sanding. Gloves can prevent cuts and scrapes from handling drywall and tools. Ensuring the workspace is well-ventilated is important to minimize inhalation of dust. Additionally, when working with power tools or on ladders, follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines to prevent accidents. Lastly, when dealing with mold or water damage, it may be necessary to wear additional protective gear and follow specific procedures to avoid health risks.
Preventing cracks from reappearing in repaired drywall involves addressing the root cause of the crack, using the right materials, and applying proper techniques. Structural issues or moisture problems should be resolved prior to the repair. Using a flexible joint compound can help accommodate slight movements in the building that might cause cracks. Applying mesh tape over the crack before covering it with joint compound can also add strength and flexibility. Ensuring that the repair area is properly primed and painted can further protect the repair from environmental factors that might cause the crack to reappear.
