Sheetrock ceiling

[Doug welborn]

Yesterday I looked at at a condo, the upstairs ceiling was sheetrock and there was some areas the nails were backed out, they were in a line, three different rooms, can someone tell me what's going on?

Chitty installation, warped truss, but if they were lined up in three rooms I would go with the warped or lifted truss.

Hi,

Yeah, I'd suspect some kind of truss uplift-like issue. I see that all the time near interior walls but almost never along the ceiling near exterior walls. If they reset them and spackle they're liable to come back unless they remove the fasteners, spackle the holes and forget about it.

OT - OF!!!

That's what I think.

Pull the nails, refasten w/screws, mud it w/Durabond 90 "brown bag" (not the Easy Sand mix), and paint.
