Ceiling Leak Repair

Ceiling Leak Repair in San Francisco

Dripping water, sagging plaster, discoloration to your ceiling and walls, and even mold and mildew: The symptoms of a leaking ceiling are deeply unpleasant. What’s more, unattended ceiling leaks can lead to even worse outcomes, including but not limited to ceiling and wall collapse, as well as flooding. Fixing a leaking ceiling is not as simple as looking behind the wet spot, as water may be flowing from another area before soaking into your ceiling or walls. Instead of trying to fix it yourself, trust the licensed plumbing experts of Arch Plumbing to do the job for you. Our team is familiar with both common and less common causes of ceiling leaks, and with the assistance of our leak detection equipment, we can quickly locate and fix the source of these frustrating leaks.

What is Causing My Ceiling to Leak?

When you experience water damage to your ceiling, the two most common culprits are your plumbing system, or your roofing system:

• Plumbing-related ceiling leaks – Should visible water damage appear below areas of the home where plumbing pipes are located, including below a kitchen or bathroom, you may have leaks in your water supply pipes or drainage pipes. If the water leaking from your ceiling is clear, rather than dirty; and steady, rather than intermittent and dependent on weather conditions, a leaking pipe is very likely to be the culprit.
• Roofing-related ceiling leaks – When the ceiling leak is directly below the roof surface or an attic space with no plumbing running through it, the ceiling leak may be caused by damage to your roofing such as a hole in your shingles. If leaks only occur during or shortly after it rains, or coincides with ice buildup along the eaves of your home in cold weather, or the water appears muddy like it has picked up dirt and other impurities, the leak is likely to be roofing-related as well.

Whatever the cause, the water that you can see leaking from your ceiling is often just a fraction of the amount that has leaked within your home. Left unattended, lasting structural damage to your home can result, which is why ceiling leaks should never be ignored.

Repairing a Leaking Ceiling

The method of repairing a leaking ceiling will depend on identifying the exact cause behind the leak, but rest assured that our experts will also take the steps required to prevent further damage to your home, by clearing out any pools of water and airing out damp drywall.

We will coordinate with roofing experts should the leak prove to be roofing related. If the ceiling leak is plumbing-related, our licensed, bonded and insured plumbing experts will repair the pipes or fixtures causing the leak. Should there be structural damage to your pipes that require more extensive repair or repiping, our team will be sure to walk you through all of your long-term and short-term options, so you are able to make the best possible decision for yourself and your home.

Common culprits of plumbing related leaks include fixtures such as your bathtub, showers or toilets, or the water supply pipes themselves. Repairing a leak can be as simple as regrouting and resealing bathroom tiles or removing and replacing a faulty drain gasket, or as complex as having to remove and replace entire sections of pipes if the old ones have corroded through and caused the leak.

Once the leak has been fixed, our experts will still recommend that the ceiling cavity is dried out completely before we patch it back up again, to ensure that mold or mildew is not given the chance to grow. Should parts of the drywall be too damaged, we can also help to replace it for you.
