Before, you learn methods on how to fix wavy drywall on a budget. Make sure you have basic tools and materials in your arsenal. You will need the following :
electronic stud finder
hacksaw
pry bar
tape measure
drill/driver
carpenter's square
razor knife
string
drywall
screws and/or nails
drywall tape — paper or fibreglass
pre-mixed joint compound
100- to 120-grit sandpaper
cloth or rag
If the seam is cracked, you can patch a thin layer of drywall spackling compound.
With a small putty knife, spread the joint compound in an even layer over the seam/ crack.
Once the portion is dried, sand it with 100- to 120-grit sandpaper.
To match the portion to the rest of the wall, paint the surrounding area.
With a utility knife, cut a 1/4- to 1/8-inch deep hole to remove loose drywall.
With a taping knife, spread an even layer of drywall mud over the cracked seam.
If needed, apply another layer.
With 100- to 120-grit sandpaper, sand the drywall until it's visibly smooth.
Remove dust with a cloth or rag
Paint the patched area in the same shade as the surrounding wall.
