Im attempting to repair some pretty bad nail pops in our drywall. The house is on a crawl space, was built pre drywall screw, we live next to a train track and the home was built on a more than moderate incline. Foundation settling is an issue along with the fact that all the drywall is fastened with nails. I've attempted a few repairs in the kitchen where the pops are showing up the most. The first time I tried to repair one, I pressed the drywall firmly against the stud and ran a drywall screw above and below the popped nail. I didn't even run them down flush, I stopped as soon as the bugle of the screw made contact with the surface. When I removed my knee from the wall, the screws went right rough like there was no paper on the drywall surface. I've tried many different techniques and tips, but I'm still getting the same result. Has anybody encountered this, or know of a repair solution for this. Thanks for any help and info you can provide
