Bulging drywall can be caused by moisture getting behind the panel, which makes the gypsum core swell. It can also happen if the fasteners holding the drywall to the studs loosen over time. Sometimes, improper installation can lead to bulges. Fixing it often involves identifying and addressing the root cause, such as a leak, then repairing or replacing the damaged section. This usually requires professional expertise. Call us for a free quote on your repair.
