Wood Ceiling Water Damage

When a flat roof leaks, it can trap water underneath, and damage the interior finishes. Bowing and moisture staining are a strong indicator of moisture damage. A new roof was installed, but the supports should be evaluated by a structural engineer for adequacy and recommendations for improvements or repairs.

Darker colored ceilings like this can hide moisture well. It is important that you inspect these areas closely after a rain storm to verify the roof is not leaking.
