Do not stand under a sagging ceiling

Safety note: waterlogged ceiling materials can become heavy and unstable. Keep people out from beneath visibly bulging or sagging areas.

Find the source, then dry the damage

The source may be plumbing, an HVAC drain, an upstairs fixture or a roof leak. Once new water is stopped, affected ceiling and wall materials still need to be evaluated and dried.

Frequently asked questions

Does a ceiling stain always mean an active leak?

Not always. A stain can remain after an older leak, but new discoloration, dampness or growth suggests the area should be investigated.

Should I puncture a bulging ceiling?

A waterlogged ceiling can fail unpredictably. Avoid standing beneath it and get appropriate help rather than treating puncturing as a routine DIY step.
