Why are my drywall anchors breaking?

• <div><p>There are a handful of reasons why your drywall anchors are breaking.

Q: Why does my drywall keep cracking at the seams?

• <div><p>If your home&rsquo;s foundation shifts slightly over time, any seams in the drywall represent the weakest point in the wall, leading to cracks. If your home has significant changes in temperature and humidity, this can cause the drywall to swell and contract slightly, causing a crack at the weak point of the seam. If your drywall installer did a poor job securing the panels to the wall studs, this could cause a weak layout and cracks in the seams.</p></div>

Q: What if I miscut the outlet hole in the drywall?

• <div><p>Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/patch-drywall-hole-6-simple-steps.htm">how to patch a hole in drywall</a> is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it&rsquo;s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it&rsquo;s not completely wasted.</p></div>

Q: Are you supposed to sand drywall mud?

• <div><p>Yes, as drywall mud is going to have some uneven spots and bumps after application. Such imperfections are going to be visible after everything dries and even after you paint the wall, so you want to remove them. Learning how to sand drywall, taking your time, and following <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-eliminate-drywall-dust.htm">drywall sanding tips</a> can help you have the best results.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal for drywall seams to crack?

• <div><p>Yes, small, superficial cracks are normal as homes settle. Older homes have a higher chance of showing signs of settling through hairline cracks from temperature changes, moisture changes, and soil shifting. However, larger cracks, or discolored cracks from water damage, may signify a bigger problem that requires reparations and preventative measures. </p></div>
