Recognizing Water Damage and Leaks

Ceiling water damage poses a significant threat to the integrity of your home and its occupants. It’s crucial to promptly identify and address any potential water damage to prevent further deterioration.

How to Determine Water Damage Behind Drywall

Identifying water damage behind drywall can be challenging. However, there are several telltale signs that you should be aware of:

  • Discoloration or staining on the drywall surface
  • Bubbling, peeling, or cracking of the drywall
  • Musty or moldy odors
  • Soft or spongy drywall when touched
  • Electrical shorts or flickering lights near the affected area

If you suspect water damage behind drywall, it’s essential to consult a qualified professional for further inspection and repairs.
