Mild Water Damage: Its Appearance

Water damage to a ceiling can manifest in various forms, depending on the extent and duration of exposure. Mild water damage is often characterized by:

• Discoloration or staining: Water can leave behind yellowish or brownish stains, particularly near the edges of the ceiling.
• Bubbling or peeling paint: Excessive moisture can cause paint to detach from the ceiling surface, forming bubbles or peeling sections.
• Cracking or warping: The drying process after water exposure can cause the ceiling material to crack or warp, creating visible lines or deformations.
• Crumbling or flaking drywall: In cases of severe moisture absorption, drywall can become weakened and may crumble or flake easily.
