What nail pop means
A nail pop is a small bump or crack where a drywall nail or screw head pushes out through the finish, usually as framing lumber dries and shrinks.
Where it matters on a drywall job
Nail pops show up in the first year of new homes and after big humidity swings. Drive a screw next to it, reset or pull the old fastener, and patch; it is good small job filler for a drywall or handyman route.
