Please advise just wanted to paint the inside of the closet...What does it mean when paint is peeling off of the wall in the corner of a closet?
either the wall wasn't cleaned or prepped proerly or there is moisture coming through the wall from behindWhat does it mean when paint is peeling off of the wall in the corner of a closet?
it could be moisture. Is the sheetrock soft? If so, it needs to be replaced. Check for termites, there will be little trail marks. If neither of these problems exist, use a good primer such as KILZ and then paint the area. It may be heat from outside like someone else suggested.
it is moist or water seeping thru the behind wall. Typically, occur if the wall is expose to strong direct sun light. check it up before you paint it else problem will recur
