Large hail and strong winds damage roofs and siding, letting water into attics and walls. Panhandle blizzards and arctic cold freeze pipes and stress roofs with snow and ice. Many Amarillo homes have furnaces, AC coils or water heaters in the attic. When a pan overflows or a tank fails, water comes straight down through the ceiling and insulation. Hail-bruised shingles may not leak in a dry spring, but heavy snow sitting on the roof melts slowly and finds every crack, often weeks after the storm.
Wolflin and San Jacinto have historic brick homes with older roofs and plumbing, while southwest Amarillo has newer slab homes with attic HVAC equipment.

Ceiling water damage repair questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Amarillo?
Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Amarillo Building Safety department.
How do I protect pipes in an Amarillo winter?
Insulate pipes in exterior walls and attics, keep the heat steady, and drip faucets on exterior walls during arctic cold.
Will a water stain on the ceiling go away?
No. A stain means water got through, and the source needs fixing. After drying, the area needs stain-blocking primer and paint, or replacement if the drywall weakened.
Is a sagging ceiling dangerous?
Yes. Wet drywall can drop without warning. Keep people out from under it and relieve the water with a small hole into a bucket if it's safe.
