Identifying Water Damage and Leaks

Water damage on ceilings can be a serious problem that can lead to costly repairs and health issues if not addressed promptly. Identifying water damage and leaks is the first step to preventing further damage and restoring your home to its original condition.

What Does Mild Water Damage Look Like?

Mild water damage can be difficult to detect, but there are a few telltale signs that may indicate a problem:

*

• Discolored ceiling tiles or paint
• Sagging or bulging drywall
• Musty or moldy odors
• Soft or spongy spots on the ceiling
• Water stains or streaks
• Bubbling or peeling wallpaper

If you notice any of these signs, it is important to have your ceiling inspected by a professional to determine the source of the water damage and recommend the appropriate repairs.
