More people than not have water damage stains on their ceilings. This is not a good sign. Most often it is a very bad sign. 

Before we get to the "how to fix it part"..let's start with how to prevent it. 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.
   • They 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. 

Do you know what a water stain on the ceiling means?

• The mark or spot is a visible mark of water damage in your home
• It can't be fixed with a coat of paint..don't even try it.
• Unfortunately trying to cover it up could cause mold issues in the future.
• Water stains should instead be repaired immediately in order to avoid further damage to ceilings. So STOP and call a professional like SERVPRO of West Evansville before you try to become a youtube expert.
