Why Drywall Cracks Appear in Texas Homes and How They're Repaired

Drywall cracks in Texas homes are often linked to seasonal soil and foundation movement, settling and seams; most are repaired by cutting out or taping the crack, finishing, texturing and painting.

Common causes

North Texas clay soils expand and shrink with moisture, which can cause foundation movement. That movement often shows up as cracks at door corners, windows and drywall seams.

How repairs are done

Cracks are opened, taped and finished with joint compound, then textured and painted to blend in. Larger damage may need a new section of sheetrock.

When to get help

If cracks keep coming back or are getting larger, have the cause reviewed. For the wall itself, see drywall and sheetrock repairs.
