I have a 2 story house. As you go up the stairs, the beams that run
parallel to the floor are bowing out a bit where the dry wall tape is
bowing and the nails are coming out. Any idea what is causing this?

Hmmm,
Your house is crumbling! Moisture? Under spec. beam?
How old is the house?

My house isn't crumbling and there is no moisture - or you'd see/smell it.
The house is 7 years old.

Hi,
Nail or screw nail? Today no one uses plain nail on dry walls.
Imagine screw nail coming out! Where I live newly built houses all come
with structural warranty. It's the law. Can't build houses cutting
corners. All your doors, windows open/close good? Floor squeaking
anything like that?

Jessica: Your description is rather vague. What are the beams, in the floor
you have floor joists held up by walls or beams made of wood or steel. The
walls have supports in them called studs. Now are you talking about the
wall, the floor or what?
