Ceiling water damage repair questions
Why do Las Vegas homes get plumbing leaks?
Hard water deposits and corrosion wear on copper and fittings, and slab construction hides leaks until damage appears.
How do I verify a Nevada contractor?
Search the Nevada State Contractors Board license lookup.
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.
