Identifying Ceiling Water Damage and Leaks

What does mild water damage look like?

Ceiling water damage can be a major headache, but it’s important to identify the problem early on so you can take steps to fix it. Here are some signs of mild water damage to look for:

  • Stains: Water stains on your ceiling are a telltale sign of a leak. The stains may be brown, yellow, or even black, and they may have a musty odor.
  • Bubbling: If the water damage is severe, the paint on your ceiling may start to bubble. This is because the water is causing the paint to separate from the drywall.
  • Cracking: Over time, water damage can cause the drywall on your ceiling to crack. This is a serious problem that can lead to further damage.
  • Sagging: In severe cases, water damage can cause the ceiling to sag. This is a dangerous problem that can lead to the ceiling collapsing.

If you notice any of these signs of water damage on your ceiling, it’s important to take action immediately. The longer you wait to fix the problem, the more damage it will cause.
