What happens here

To securely re-fasten the drywall to the stud (or framing behind the drywall), use a drill/driver to insert a 2-inch drywall screw. Position the screw near the area where the nail pop occurred, ensuring it goes into a solid framing member to provide stability. Drive the screw until its head is slightly recessed below the surface of the drywall, but do not break the paper facing. This new screw will hold the drywall firmly in place.

Goal: Securely fasten the drywall to prevent future nail pops.
