What To Do Immediately
- Turn off electricity to any light fixture or fan near the leak if water is dripping close to it
- Shut off the water source (supply line, fixture, or appliance above) if it is safe to do so
- Place a bucket or large container under the drip and lay towels around the affected area
- Carefully puncture a water-filled bulge in the drywall with a screwdriver over a bucket to relieve pressure before it collapses on its own
- Check the attic above the affected area (if safely accessible) for a possible roof leak source
What Not To Do
- Do not assume insulation above a leak can be saved once it has been soaked — it typically must be removed and replaced
- Do not ignore a small stain assuming it will simply dry out and stay gone on its own
- Do not stand directly underneath a sagging or bulging section of ceiling
- Do not delay calling for help — mold can begin developing on wet drywall within 24–48 hours
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do while waiting for a ceiling repair crew to arrive?
If it's safe, place a bucket under the drip, move belongings out from underneath, and shut off electricity to any nearby light fixture. Avoid standing directly under a sagging section, and don't delay — the longer moisture sits behind the drywall, the greater the risk of a larger sag or mold growth.
