A stain is a clue, not just a color
Fix the source first, and then fix the ceiling.
A brown ring on the ceiling means water came through, and paint will not fix it; if the leak is still active, the stain returns and the drywall gets weaker.
Sagging is worse, and wet drywall gets heavy and can pull away from the framing; that can be a safety risk, so keep people out from under a bulging spot and call a pro.
We look at the stain, press for soft spots and open it up if needed, and water damage is also a reason to test popcorn texture before any work, since damaged material is more likely to release fibers (EPA).
How we repair it
Illustration: water travels through the layers above the paint.
- Find the cause. Roofs, pipes and air conditioning lines are the usual suspects, and a trade may need to fix the source first.
- Let it dry. Drywall must be dry before it is covered.
- Cut out the bad board. Soft or sagging sections come out.
- Replace and finish. New board goes in, then tape, compound and sanding.
- Texture and paint. A stain-blocking primer, matching texture and a topcoat.
Cost and mold
Small stain repairs are a small job, and bigger sections cost more; if water damage and mold are severe, that is a different trade, and we will tell you if we see signs.
