Water Damage Repair

To prevent a new ceiling replacement, here are a few signs you might have a leaky roof or pipe in your house.

Brown Colored Stains

Water stains on your ceiling are easy to spot with their distinct rust-like color. If you see this type of discoloration on your ceiling, it is a sign that something is leaking. Even if the spot is not growing, it could be a sign that there was a previous leak that may start again at any time. It’s best to get this checked out before the damage spreads.

Swelling Walls or Ceilings

A professional needs to take care of a water leak immediately if you notice your ceiling has started to bubble or collect moisture. It could be from humidity, leaks, or plumbing issues. If the swelling is large, it should be taken care of before the water can damage the housing structure.

Damp or Musty Scent

If you start to smell something damp or musty, it could be your ceiling or walls. Moisture can damage the integrity of your ceiling or wall and should be taken seriously. To avoid mold in your home becoming a health hazard, removing water from your house as soon as possible is the safest route.

Mold

Mold can appear in just 48 hours in the right conditions. When this happens, you may need a new wall or new ceiling replacement for your NH home. Mold can lead to health issues. Leave mold repairs to the professionals in order to protect your family’s health.
