Identifying Ceiling Water Damage and Leaks

Water damage to your ceiling can be a severe problem if not addressed immediately. The first step in dealing with this issue is to identify the source of the leak.

### How do you know if a ceiling leak is serious?

There are a few signs that indicate a ceiling leak is serious:

– **Bubbling or peeling paint:** Paint that is bubbling or peeling off the ceiling is a sign of moisture damage.
– **Stains:** Water stains on the ceiling are another sign of leakage.
– **Mold growth:** Mold can grow on surfaces that are exposed to moisture. If you see mold on your ceiling, it is a sign that you have a leak.
– **Sagging ceiling:** A sagging ceiling is a sign that the ceiling has been damaged by water.
