Ceiling water damage repair questions
Why do Arizona homes get slab leaks?
Hard water and soil movement wear on copper pipes buried in or under slabs. Signs include warm floor spots, a high water bill, and the sound of running water.
How do I verify an Arizona contractor?
Search the Arizona Registrar of Contractors license lookup, which also lists complaints.
Will a water stain on the ceiling go away?
No. A stain means water got through, and the source needs fixing. After drying, the area needs stain-blocking primer and paint, or replacement if the drywall weakened.
Is a sagging ceiling dangerous?
Yes. Wet drywall can drop without warning. Keep people out from under it and relieve the water with a small hole into a bucket if it's safe.
