Spring hail cracks shingles and dents gutters, causing leaks with the next rain. Spring storms bring tornado warnings across the Metroplex, and tornadoes damage roofs and leave homes open to rain. The February 2021 freeze burst pipes in attics and exterior walls. Long summers keep attic air handlers running, and clogged lines overflow into ceilings.

Ceiling water damage repair questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Grand Prairie?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Grand Prairie Building Inspections department.
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Grand Prairie?
Generally yes, subject to your deductible. Many Texas policies have a separate wind and hail deductible.
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.
