Common Problems with Drywall in the North Texas Area
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 & 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
Careless furniture handling can lead to pencil-like marks at best and holes in the drywall at worst.
Benefits of Repairing Drywall
For many homeowners in the North Texas area, the benefit of repairing drywall is mainly cosmetic. Damaged drywall tends to be extremely noticeable and ruins the overall appearance of a wall. While some would prefer to simply cover the damage with a wall hanging or piece of furniture, there are other important benefits to taking the time to repair it instead:
- Certain forms of damage like cracks & damp patches lead to structural issues that effect your home’s integrity
- Smaller holes & dents will have to be repaired someday if you ever intend to sell your house
- Leaving the repair for later is almost guaranteed to increase the damage over time, meaning you may end up paying more
Drywall Repair: Priming for Paint
Priming drywall after a repair is an extremely important step that should not be overlooked. The texture of drywall causes painting directly over the skim coat to not leave a fully even surface. Proper priming involves sanding, wiping, cleaning, and applying a drywall primer/sealer.
The drywall repair service at CertaPro Painters of Far North Texas always includes these steps to guarantee a perfect finish. The priming process will vary depending on the size of the repair: if it’s only a repair on a small hole, the primer will be applied directly to the spackle or compound. Larger repairs mean re-repriming the wall entirely.
