Do these nail pops mean a leaky roof? And how to fix…
I bought a house two years ago and noticed some nail pops in the upstairs bathroom soon after, didn’t think much of it but over time they have started looking more rough (cracked and drooping) and it looks like more might be appearing on both ends of the streak. Started as three in a row, now I can see an extra two or three inside the bathroom and on the opposite edge of the same wall in my bedroom there are also a few pops. I can’t figure out if they are driven by moisture from the shower, moisture from above- leaky roof, or have nothing to do with that and are structural somehow. Either way would love help identifying if there is a problem, and ideas for how to fix without getting professionals involved in less needed. I’m pretty handy and I’m good with painting spackling etc. Just don’t want to put lipstick on a pig if there will be a further problem down the road. submitted by /u/dudelobowski [link] [comments]
