Ceiling Water Damage in Garland, TX
A stain overhead means water above. We find it and dry it.
What is ceiling water damage?
Ceiling water damage usually comes from a roof leak, an upstairs bathroom, or an attic AC unit whose drain line clogged, which is common in Texas summers. Look for brown rings, peeling paint or sagging drywall. Stop the source, keep people out from under any sag, and have the ceiling and insulation checked before repainting.

Garland water damage questions
Is a water stain on the ceiling an emergency?
An old, dry stain is not. A stain that is growing, damp to the touch or sagging means an active leak, and the drywall can fail. Treat that one as urgent.
Why is water leaking from my ceiling in summer?
In many Texas homes the AC air handler sits in the attic. When its condensate drain clogs, the pan overflows and water comes through the ceiling below.
Can I just paint over a ceiling water stain?
Only after the source is fixed and the drywall and insulation are dry. Painting over a wet stain traps moisture and the stain usually bleeds back through.
