Looking for advice. Got rows of nail pops in ceiling. Appears to be a long standing problem - house is 18 yo and I've been here for 2- problem hasn't got worse during this time. Based on online guides - I was going to: 1) Drive 1.75 inch coarse thread drywall screws either side of each pop. 2) Overlap the loose nail with a further screw and set it into joist and prevent it reappearing 3) Fill and sand.
Am I on right lines?
Concerned that doing this along the length of the ceiling could cause movement/damage?
Also some pops are very near junction of wall and ceiling so unsure how to set new screw into joist in these areas?
Any advice gratefully received.
