oh no! For that you should re-screw the drywall about 2 inches from the nail pop and then dig out the nail with a small nail bar. You could use a putty knife or some other thin piece of sheet metal flat on the wall to put under the nail bar as you pry it out so it doesn't crush the drywall. Next just carve out the loose paper and fix it the same as in this video. You could also pound the nail in a bit further with a nail punch after you re-screw but you will still need to carve out the loose paper around it and there is no guarantee that it won't come back. Especially with smooth shank roofing nails.

Your videos are excellent! Good technique, straightforward teaching. I work at Home Depot’s paint department and I recommend your channel to many of my DIY customers. Thank you!

Thanks so much! I've had screw pop problems basically all over our 32 year old home, and have had to re-do the "fixed" pops at least once so far. Great explanation about this problem!

You are the bomb! I own a very busy remodeling company and I am suggesting your videos for all my workers. Thanks for being so thorough.

Like many drywall finishing carpenters, he hates to sand. So, when he applies the mud, he puts the right amount on with the correct consistency. It doesn't help to use thinned out mud on a ceiling. You'll look like you came upon a flock of seagulls, and I'm not talking about the band.

Great vid. Just a note though, don't always have to remove the screw if it hasn't broken through the paper. Sometimes wood shrinks because it is a bit wet when house is framed and finished, and all you need to do is give it a quarter turn to tighten it up. I never cut the drywall. I simply use the round end of a screw driver and push it in the hole to round the edges into the screw hole so no drywall paper will stick out from the mud once applied. Same idea, but no cutting, less mud and smaller patch. Either way has same results.

Because of your videos, I have the confidence to take the house we just bought down to studs (1 room at a time, of course) and fix everything. Thanks!

The scoop at 2:20 about bugle-headed drywall screws is worth gold. Thank you, Canadian Carpenter!

U really do a great job of explaining and describing the project,why ur fixing it,and what caused it bro,great job!

Thankyou !! I have nails coming out and dry wall binding throughout my house. Both of which you taught me to fix.

Great video. Very easy to understand for everyone to know how to do the fix correctly. There is a few other ways that screw pops occur . A more common reason is when you have studs that are not level with one another, meaning one is sticking out farther or one is in farther than the others which causes the dw not to lay flat again the framing its self . That a whole separate fix that this fix will not work . Best way I found out is to avoid this stud completely and move to the next stud in line that is framed correctly . If there is a bunch studs with this issue a framer will need to return and fix the issue for the dw guy 👍before you can move on with your dw work .

This guy is a drywall genius! Great tips and tricks. Btw love the California patch!

As a plasterer, I find ceilings to be the most prone if the wrong plasterboard is used, many plasterers opt for 12.5mm because they are lighter to lift (Some even use 9.5mm, lazy gits), but, when boarding an oldish building, these boards are'nt strong enough to span hollows in the ceiling due to slight subsistence over the years, and when they are fixed, they "pop" because the board springs back (They are too flexible, it tries to form itself into the hollow, but the board gives up). The ceiling is then plastered/taped, and when the decorator comes along, they push the board up with their roller and... You get a screw pop! This is why you should always use 15mm on ceilings, or even old woodern studs IMO, a lot sturdier, and before it flexes too much, the screw usually goes into the board how you want it too! On new builds, I'd say a 15 or so nail pops is acceptable, boarders are in a rush, conditions of the storage of boards is never great, they become damp, and, well, it is what it is isnt it, much better then a sparky or a water fairy thats wandering about armed with a hammer... They do my nut in! :D

There is a third reason you may get screw or nail pops. Here in the northeast our drywall glue is now water based, so it shrinks as it dries, pulling the sheet slightly tighter to the stud, causing the pop. I have done testing to verify my results. I use less glue and more screw now

Good video, easy to listen to and follow. Very straight forward with the details needed to do a proper repair. Great advise on the mud mix. I used just the regular mud and now I have some spots to repair using the quick set mud. The finishing mud is finer and is easy to paint and make it blend in.

thank you, my new house has several of these that showed up after a few years. i think a couple in the upstairs bathroom look like rebar for some odd ass reason...not sure what to do with that.

Thanks for sharing. Excellent technique for applying the mud. That will help all us novices

Doing a room addition, which was a carport, with all kinds of oddities in the framing. Took the liberty of gluing all 22.5 sheets on. The sheet rock has not moved at all. Can't imagine doing this on large jobs, but like the results. And thank you for all your videos, looking good so far...

Here’s a tip that I’ve had great results with for not having screw pops, take them out. When installing a sheet of drywall make sure you glue your studs properly, run a nice thick bead of drywall adhesive approximately 40” along each stud keeping the glue at least 4” away from each beveled edge. Then install your screws per schedule. After the glue is set up remove only the field screws. Then coat them as normal. No more field screw pops. If the glue is applied properly that board isn’t going anywhere. I started experimenting with this when the lightweight board started being distributed everywhere and screw pops seemed to really become a problem. The modern day glue literally pulls the lightweight drywall ‘around’ the stud ever so slightly and therefore makes the screw pop. This totally eliminates this problem. I only use this for walls and not ceilings as I don’t use glue on ceilings. Hope this helps some of you.

Looking at the video title like what don’t I know and then watch and find out I don’t know anything. Well done, thanks.

You earned a new sub with this vid, bro! I have numerous screw pops in my 27-year-old house that I will be fixing using your technique. 👍🏼👍🏼

I'm learning so much from you I really appreciate your videos mostly I'm learning it's about patience you can't rush a good job

Good stuff, pretty much the same as I do, but I use two screws. One below and one above the pop. Not sure if its worth it or not but has been working for me.

I recently did a patch and purposely gave it a extra 45 cuz it looked wetish not sticky (coldish wall ..20's temp outside,poor insulation I presume) and came back at end of day for top coat(4hours or so) was working outside , anyways and had a peelish area, customers home was probably upper 60's or so temp. (Farinheit)I removed loose and redid it, also had a fan on it too. Hopefully this makes sense I didn't wanna type a three page question!!

Hey Wayne, the biggest culprit that I've seen with setting type compounds is adding too much water to the mix. That stuff should be thick for most applications. Like thick enough to stress your wrist when you're using it. It shouldn't have much to do with the temp as long as you keep it above freezing (which if you're not doing, you shouldn't be doing drywall work at those temps). If you're going to get into doing your own small drywall and repair work, check out the Drywall Doctor on youtube.

Nice work man. You are a good communicator and teacher

OBNOXIOUS DEFECT #2- The older your drywall is the more texture/orange peel you will have. You have to take a foam brush with paint on it and tap the smooth area that has just been created. This will give it some texture you can build the texture to match the more you tap the flat side of the brush, not the tip. If you just roll the entire wall again you will see shiny smooth spots when looking down the wall with a light source or window at the other end. Once you are done matching the texture then roll the entire wall.....perfect!

Thanks for this video. I have a couple of these around the house. Now i know how to fix them. Love your channel.

I love your videos!! One additional tip is to make sure your new screws are going into studs. In my experience some screw/nail pops are the result of the original drywall installer missing the stud and thus not grabbing any "meat" underneath. Don't assume you'll hit the stud going vertical with the pop. Use a stud finder or whatever method to located the stud when you replace the screw because it might need to be offset. (ie don't assume!!!) I've also found that when repairing pops, you might generate some new ones by sucking that drywall panel back to where it belongs.

one would think that after all these years someone, somewhere would have come up with a better system then drywall and mudding. There hasn't been an improvement in interior wall construction in 75 years!
