How do you fix cracking sheet rock and popping off vinyl siding?
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009Sheldon L asked:
We just bought this totally remodeled house six months ago and now the sheet rock on the walls has cracked at pretty much every corner of every doorway and window because of settling. Can that be fixed permanently or just patched every so often? Also, the house has new vinyl siding and we have one strip that keeps popping loose on the bottom. We have put it back in place multiple times but it keeps coming undone. Any ideas?
Actually, these conditions are caused by settling in the ground. The foundation is new and has just been checked. So, any suggestions on the original question?
