If the ceiling is sagging

  • Keep people and pets out of the room.
  • Put a bucket under it and move belongings.
  • Don't poke it if it's large or near a light fixture. Switch that circuit off.

Finding the water

Water travels along joists and pipes before it shows up. Restoration companies use moisture meters and thermal imaging to map how far it spread, then open only what's needed.

Common sources

  • Roof leaks during storms.
  • Bathroom, shower and toilet leaks from upstairs.
  • AC drain pan and condensate line overflows.
  • Pipe leaks inside walls and ceilings.

Ceiling & Wall Leaks: common questions

Will the ceiling need replacing?

Small, quickly dried areas may only need paint. Sagging or soaked drywall is usually cut out and replaced after drying.
