What to Do If Your Ceiling Is Full of Water

• Locate the source of the leak. Check the roof, pipes, and any other potential sources of water. If you can’t find the source, call a plumber or roofer.
• Turn off the water supply. This will prevent further damage to your ceiling.
• Create a hole in the ceiling to drain the water. Use a bucket or bowl to catch the water as it drains.
• Dry out the area. Once the water has been drained, use a fan or dehumidifier to dry out the area. This will help to prevent mold and mildew from growing.
• Repair the leak. Once the leak has been found, it must be repaired to prevent further damage to your ceiling.
• Call your insurance company. If the water damage is severe, you may need to file a claim with your insurance company.
