Why does drywall crack?
There are several reasons why drywall may crack:
- Changes in temperature or humidity can cause drywall to expand or contract, leading to cracks.
- Drywall can also crack due to impact, such as when it is bumped or hit by furniture or other objects.
- Structural issues, such as foundation settling or framing problems, can cause drywall to crack.
- In some cases, drywall may crack due to the weight of heavy objects hung on the wall, such as large mirrors or heavy pictures.
- Poorly mixed or applied joint compound can also cause drywall to crack.
To repair a crack in drywall, you will need the following materials:
- Drywall tape
- Drywall joint compound
- A putty knife or trowel
- Sandpaper
- Primer and paint (optional)
- Clean the area around the crack and remove any loose debris or paint.
- Cut a piece of drywall tape that is slightly longer than the crack.
- Apply a thin layer of joint compound to the area around the crack, using the putty knife or trowel.
- Place the drywall tape over the crack, smoothing it down with the putty knife or trowel.
- Allow the joint compound to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. This can take several hours or up to a day, depending on the type of compound you are using.
- Once the joint compound is dry, sand the area smooth with sandpaper.
- If desired, prime and paint the repaired area to match the surrounding wall.
