How Do You Unscrew Screws That Are In Drywall?
Whether you have an unwanted screw or simply need to make changes to your wall, removing screws from drywall is very easy. If performed carefully, there will be little additional damage to the wall and you can often reuse the screws. Most importantly, many people already have all the supplies necessary to remove screws from drywall. Remove any caulk or dry wall repair paste that may be covering the screws using a putty knife or a metal trowel. Only remove the material necessary to access the screw. This will decrease any additional damage to the wall. Insert the Phillips drill bit into the screw head. Be sure that the drill is adjusted to “reverse” for removing screws. Be certain to hold the drill at the angle of the head of the screw for removal. If the screw seems slightly angled to the left, hold the drill slightly angled to the left. Slowly remove the screw from the wall. Pulse the drill operating button very slowly to carefully remove the screw and avoid stripping the screw head.
