Leaking Pipe in Ceiling
A leaking pipe in the ceiling can cause significant damage to your home if not detected and repaired promptly. Signs of a leak include water stains or discoloration on the ceiling, bubbling or peeling paint, and a musty odor. If you suspect a leak, turn off the main water supply and contact a qualified plumber. Leak detection devices, such as ultrasonic detectors or moisture meters, can help pinpoint the location of the leak. Depending on the type of leak, repair options may include patching or replacing the pipe.
