Ceiling water damage repair questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Cheyenne?
Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Cheyenne Building Safety division.
How do I keep pipes from freezing in Cheyenne?
Seal foundation drafts, insulate pipes, keep the heat on, and consider heat tape on vulnerable lines.
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.
