Ceiling & Roof Water Damage

Unlike a burst pipe, roof and ceiling leaks are often slow — which means damage can build for weeks before it’s obvious.

Warning signs

• A yellow or brown stain spreading on the ceiling
• Paint or drywall that’s bubbling or soft to the touch
• A musty smell in a room with no visible source
• Sagging in the ceiling drywall

Common Texas causes

Storm damage to shingles or flashing, HVAC condensation lines that clog and back up, and aging roof membranes are the most common sources seen across Texas homes.

What to do

Once you spot a leak, the ceiling material itself often needs to be opened up to check for hidden moisture and mold before it’s simply patched over — patching without checking behind it is one of the most common mistakes homeowners make.
