- there is a section of one of our rooms where we recently replaced the drywall due to cracking. I noticed recently that there are cracks appearing along the lines of the joints. No one has pushed against this wall so I am assuming that there is moisture behind the wall which has caused the mud to loosen and crack.
If I want to re-tape/mud the joints, should I use paper or mesh tape? Also, I am thinking that if I put a few support screws into studs near the joints, it will give added support.
- The wall behind my bed has cracks (again along joint lines) directly behind where my wife and I rest our heads. Obviously, the weight of our melons :) is causing this. Like above, if I screw into some studs near the joints, will this give me added support?
Thanks
