Plumbing
Pipe leaks often go undetected for quite some time. Leaks in the ceiling usually result from problems with the plumbing, which may be easily identified and fixed. But if you put off fixing the leak in your ceiling, it could get worse and cause problems with your wiring and appliances. Your leaky ceiling is no longer a problem because you can quickly fix it by calling a local Calgary plumber. Four common plumbing problems might lead to a leaking ceiling.
Shower Leaks
Detecting shower leaks may be challenging as all the plumbing is done in a wall surrounded by tiles. However, when you realize a changed ceiling color below your upstairs bathroom, the probable cause of the ceiling leak is your upstairs bathroom leak. You will also notice that the tiles are curling or peeling near the shower.
Toilet Leaks
Toilet leaks may not always lead to ceiling leaks, but if it results from a worn-out wax ring, it will automatically lead to ceiling leaks. When the wax ring wears out, water seeps through the walls after flushing your toilet. The water then runs behind the walls and moistens the dry walls leading to wet spots on the ceiling and flaking of the paint on the walls.
