Is the Tape Peeling off Your Garage Ceiling

Just Removing the loose tape and Re-Taping is not enough. Follow these steps.

Was the drywall primed? Did it need to be?

[@nrehberg]

Yeah, I get that same insulation machine from HOme Depot. It’s the one to get, it has the on off button on the end of the hose so you can turn the machine off when you are in the attic

Agreed It worked Great

Awesome. Is the concern with heat one of just wanting the mud not to get too hot in summer heat in general? Or is it a concern that the relative difference in temperature between the attic and garage will cause air migration, or having one side cool and one side hot might affect the mud?

[@thatdrywallguy]

I think the differences in temperature between the garage and attic as well as the constantly changing relative humidity is the problem, This leads to expansion and contraction which is different for the different materials.

I see, thank you! In my climate (nearly Florida), both garage and attic are atrociously hot, but the garage stays dehumidified. I guess that can still create these issues. Thanks.

My garage is doing this and I thought it was the foundation. No water spots so the roof is not leaking. I’m going to hire a professional painter! So glad it’s not the foundation.
