Why Is There Staining On Your Ceiling

In most cases, staining on the ceiling of a room indicates a problem such as a leak, water damage, or a mold infestation. A large number of mold infestations and incidents of water damage in Toronto start with hidden leaks in the ceiling that don’t reveal themselves until mold makes the need for remediation and ceiling water damage repair undeniable. 

What Does Water Damage Look Like?

You likely will need ceiling water damage repair if you see brown staining or yellowing on your ceiling. As water damage penetrates your ceiling, it can make it more attractive to mold spores, facilitating an infestation. 

What Does Mold Ceiling Infestations Look Like? 

Not all molds look the same, but they will typically have similar characteristics. Staining on the ceilings from mold will appear sporadic and spotty at the beginning. Over time, the infestation will grow bigger until it takes over the entire surface or until mold removal is complete. Because mold is a natural fungus, it typically shows up in earth-toned colours such as brown, black, white, yellow, green, and sometimes even pink. In texture, mold will tend to look fuzzy or velvety.
