Nail Pops
Nail pops can be an unsightly problem inside your home. Besides roughing up your walls, they can also be an indication of foundation problems.
If you notice any nail pops in your home that have mysteriously appeared, contact LRE Foundation Repair to get a free inspection and evaluation to find out what is causing the nail pops.
A nail pop resembles a small, cracked circle on your interior walls. They typically appear when the nail pulls away from the drywall or sheetrock.
The nail is pushed through your wall and causes a crack or hole to appear. This can create rough edges on your walls and be an eyesore for your home.
Aside from being an annoyance to look at, nail pops can be an indication of a much larger issue. Nail pops are one of the many interior warning signs of foundation settlement.
As your foundation settles, it puts an immense amount of pressure on your home. A lot of pressure is put on your walls and can cause the nails in your drywall or sheetrock to pop through the walls in your home.
This pressure can cause all sorts of interior issues and result in unsightly problems. Other interior warning signs of foundation problems include:
Nail pops are one of the many indicators of foundation problems. It's important to keep an eye out for these and call in a professional to prevent the problem from becoming worse.
What causes a foundation to settle in the first place? The main cause is the unsupportive soils in the ground below your foundation. Soils are impacted from changing weather conditions and can become displaced from their original position.
During heavy rains, the soils become saturated with water and expand. During dry weather conditions, the soils contract and create voids. This constant expansion and contraction causes the soils to become displaced and no longer support the weight of your home above.
As the soils shift, the structural integrity of your foundation is jeopardized. It causes your foundation to settle into the ground and puts a great deal of pressure on the walls inside your home.
Nail pops may need more repair than just a hammer and plaster. Nail pops are often a sign of foundation damage, so foundation repair solutions may be necessary in order to fix the ultimate problem.
It's important to take nail pops seriously at the first sighting because they are signs of a bigger foundation problem. Taking action quickly will help repair your home's foundation and avoid more expensive issues in the future.
