Ceiling Leak in Home

Water follows the easiest path until it reaches the lowest point or obstruction along that path where it begins to pool and leak. A thorough inspection and eliminating the most obvious causes is a good starting point when you want to identify the source of the leak in your ceiling. The ceiling of this home was damaged due to a storm. The after picture shows the ceiling that was taken down and covered and ready for construction. Water leaks can also stain your ceiling with a yellow color, making it look old. Many people confuse the yellow color with mold. After a leak, it's important to have a technician check the water levels of the walls.
