Ceiling water damage repair questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Oklahoma City?
Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Oklahoma City Development Services.
Do Oklahoma roofers need to register?
Yes. Roofing contractors must register with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board.
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.
