Water Dripping From the Ceiling: What to Do Right Now

Water dripping from your ceiling? Follow these emergency steps, learn the most common sources (bathroom above, supply line, roof), and call a NH leak repair plumber 24/7.

First five minutes

Put a bucket down, poke a small hole in the bulging drywall to let water out in one place, and shut off the water main if the drip is steady. Then call an emergency plumber.

The usual suspects

A bathroom above the stain is the number one cause: a failed shower pan, a leaking toilet wax ring, or a tub drain. Next are supply lines and, in winter, pipes that froze and split in an exterior wall.

Finding it without wrecking the ceiling

Electronic leak detection and thermal imaging locate the leak so the repair opening is small. Guessing and cutting is how a small leak becomes a big drywall job.
