- What to look for: If you are working on remodeling or renovating a property, you will want to look for warning signs of any damage that should be resolved before you begin adding new components. Some signs of ceiling water damage can include water stains or discoloration, sagging spots, or musty odors from mold or mildew growing on the ceiling.
- When to deal with it: While it may be an inconvenience, it’s important to manage the ceiling water damage right away to prevent the water from spreading or causing more extensive issues for the rest of the home or building.
- Look for the root cause: Ceiling water damage is usually more than just a damaged ceiling. The water damage is often caused by a hidden issue in the home or building. It might be caused by a burst or leaking pipe, faulty and leaking gutters, a damaged and leaking roof, or simply bad weather. It’s important to resolve the cause of the water damage as well as the damage itself to prevent further issues.
