Bulging Ceiling From a Water Leak |
|
|
My basement sheet-rock ceiling seam bulges, about 3" wide and 6 ft. long (from a water leak). How can I get ride of this slight bulge (1/16") as I paint the ceiling?
Thanks,
Susan from Washington, DC

Try plaster washers (McFeeleys.com) if the drywall is dry and not damaged from the water. You screw these into the drywall at the studs and it will pull the drywall up.
