Ceiling & Drywall Water Damage Repair FAQs

Can a stained ceiling just be painted over?
Only after the source is repaired and the cavity is dry. Painting over wet drywall traps moisture and feeds mold. We confirm the cavity is dry, treat as needed, then patch and repaint with stain-blocking primer.
Will my insurance cover ceiling water damage?
Sudden and accidental losses (burst pipe, appliance overflow, storm-driven rain) are typically covered. Long-term seepage and maintenance issues are generally not. We document the cause and timeline to support your claim.
