Water Spots on the Ceiling Can Mean Big Trouble
Many homeowners may not know the cause of water spots on the ceiling. They may dismiss this as a cosmetic concern and put it on their to-do list for later. However, ignoring the spots, regardless of their size can quickly become a costly problem. Calling about water damage roof repair at the first sign of a leak can save time and money.
Understanding Potential Causes
The cause of water spots on the ceiling is of course associated with some type of water damage. While we at Southpaw Roofing commonly see this with a leaking roof, sometimes the cause is not immediately apparent. These additional causes can include but are not limited to:
- Plumbing Issues
- Faulty Appliances
- Accidental Spills/Overflow
In these cases, it is possible for water to pool in a space above, especially if the dwelling has an upstairs.
Getting Rid of Water Spots
The first thing you may think of is about getting rid of the water spots by painting over them or putting up a new piece of ceiling panel. This is not a remedy to the situation. If the problem that caused the water to pool is not corrected, the leaking will continue. Attempting to paint over it can also prove to be dangerous as the ceiling in that area becomes weakened and may fall as a result.
