How to Fix Nail Pops in Drywall

As a new home settles, the sheet rock nails pop during the first two years..... How are you going to fix them?

Steps

In the center of the nail pop, place the tip of nail punch, and tap in with hammer.

As you tap in the nail pop the sheet rock mud or old Spackle will fall out and break off. If you discover a screw instead of a nail, just tighten the screw by turning clockwise with a Phillips screwdriver. And proceed with step 3.
