Identifying Water Damage and Leaks

Water damage to ceilings is a common problem that can be caused by many factors, including leaks from roofs, plumbing fixtures, and HVAC systems. It’s important to be able to identify water damage so that it can be repaired quickly and prevent further damage to your home.

What does mild water damage look like?

Mild water damage may:

• Cause the ceiling to sag or bulge.
• Create a discolored or stained area on the ceiling.
• Cause the ceiling to feel damp or spongy to the touch.
• Produce a musty or moldy odor.

If you notice any of these signs of water damage, it’s important to contact a professional to have the problem repaired as soon as possible.
