Ceiling water damage repair questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Myrtle Beach?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Myrtle Beach Construction Services or Horry County.
Do I need flood insurance in Myrtle Beach?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Florence flooded many homes outside high-risk zones.
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.
