Ceiling water damage repair questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Round Rock?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Round Rock Building Inspection division.
Do I need a licensed mold company in Round Rock?
Yes, for jobs of 25 contiguous square feet or more. Texas requires a TDLR-licensed remediator and an independent licensed assessor.
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.
