Myrtle Beach Ceiling Leaks
Ceiling leaks can range from a number of different things from the the leaking or breakage of a pipe from a higher level or even an attic. Sometimes it is hard to find the potential beginning of a leak within a ceiling. Most times when a ceiling is leaking, it runs through different areas of the ceiling until it reaches the lowest possible point. If a ceiling leak is stemming from a higher level or an attic, it has multiple floors or layers to go through until the water eventually leads to group level. This can potentially cause damage to not only the ceiling, but walls and floors leading up until the ground point.

If water from a leaking or bursted pipe collects into different warped or uneven areas of the ceiling, it is possible that mold or mildew will begin to grow in these areas which can lead to a costly ceiling, or if it is more serious, a remodel of significant areas within a home.
