Possible sources
Ceiling water damage can come from plumbing lines, bathrooms, HVAC-related drainage, roof leaks, appliances on an upper floor, or other sources. If the source is roofing, see roof-leak water damage. If it is a plumbing failure, see burst pipe water damage.
Do not repair too early
Painting over a stain does not address trapped moisture. Wet ceiling materials and adjacent framing may need drying or removal before repair. See structural drying.
