  1. Humidity • Moisture and mold growth common in bathrooms and kitchens can start to form under the texture layer of a popcorn ceiling. The popcorn cap will become damp and no longer adhere to the drywall below. Peeling often the first to appear in the corners. You may first notice spots forming before the cap begins to peel.

  2. Water leak Often, in two story houses, a water leak rises upstairs directly to the ceiling below. Ceiling repair is often necessary because of damage to the ceiling from popcorn. Ceiling is often damp and has not started to peel, once leak is repaired and the ceiling dries, the texture will loose from its base.

  3. Wall dust When a popcorn cap is applied directly too undusted drywall, it does not adhere to the drywall itself, but simply a thin layer of dust. Gypsum compound is used to connect the joints of two pieces of drywall, which are commonly sanded. Surplus dust should be wiped off. However, this step can be forgotten. Often, the popcorn cap will come off in strips directly around the drywall joints. The entire ceiling cannot be stable

  4. Correction In some cases, such as leaks and humidity, the popcorn cap can be patched and re-textured. When humidity is a problem, paint the ceiling and walls of the area with paint specially designed for humid environments to decrease the risk of mold reoccurring. When plaster dust or significant water leaks have occurred, you may need to scrape the popcorn ceiling and all textures the entire area. You will notice the corrected areas, and the whole texture will be stable.
