Identifying Ceiling Water Damage and Leaks


When should I be worried about water stains on my ceiling?

Water stains on your ceiling are never a good sign, and they should be investigated immediately. The source of the leak may not be obvious, so it is important to call a qualified professional to inspect the area.

There are a few things you can look for to help you determine if the water stain is a cause for concern.

  • The size of the stain. Small stains are less likely to be a problem than large stains.
  • The location of the stain. Stains near the edges of the ceiling are more likely to be caused by a leak in the roof or gutters than stains in the middle of the ceiling.
  • The color of the stain. Yellow or brown stains are typically caused by water damage, while black or green stains may indicate mold growth.
  • The texture of the stain. Water stains will often feel damp or soft to the touch.

If you are concerned about a water stain on your ceiling, it is important to call a qualified professional for emergency services. They will be able to inspect the area and determine the source of the leak.
