Take the time to investigate the source of the drywall stress before mending the wall to avoid repeated drywall repairs.

   How do you fix a cracked drywall stud?

   • Scrape away any loose compound and use a razor knife or drywall saw to expand the crack through the wall surface into the stud cavity (Image 3). Avoid removing solid, well-adhered compound beyond the crack itself. Fill the crack with new drywall compound and apply a thin coat of compound to the wall surface where the old tape was removed.

   • Remove Loose Paper and Obstacles. Use the 6-inch drywall knife to lightly scrape the crack to remove loose drywall face paper, chunks of drywall, or other obstacles.
   • Find the Stud. With the stud finder, locate the stud closest to the crack. In many cases, the crack will be parallel to the stud. It will often run either directly over the stud or to the side.
   • Add Screws to Stabilize the Crack. Drive drywall screws on both sides of the crack, if possible, especially if the crack runs perpendicular to the stud.
   • Apply the Adhesive Spray. Spray the adhesive spray along a 3- to 4-inch-wide strip on the crack. Mesh tape has an adhesive backing but the adhesive can be unreliable, especially in warm rooms.
