Do you have Water Stain on Your Ceiling? 

It's not good when you look up to see a spot or yellow ring or discolored blemish on your ceiling. This is especially a red flag when trying to sell or buy a home. The mark or spot is a visible mark of water damage in your home, which cannot be remedied with a simple coat of paint, as doing so can facilitate the growth of mold or mildew. Water stains should instead be repaired immediately in order to avoid further damage to ceilings. 

What are some Common Causes of this?

1. Clogged gutters. Full or clogged gutters are the likely culprit if you’ve experienced heavy or persistent rain.
2. Leaky pipes could run from a bathroom, air conditioner, refrigerator, or dishwasher if one is located in the room above the stained ceiling. 
3. Caulking issue. If the caulking that surrounds your bathtub or shower deteriorates, water can leak down into the ceiling below.
