The April 2016 storm damaged roofs across northern Bexar County, and hail remains a regular spring threat. The February 2021 freeze burst pipes in attics and exterior walls across San Antonio. Long, hot summers keep attic air handlers running, and clogged condensate lines overflow into ceilings.

King William and Monte Vista have historic homes, many on pier-and-beam foundations with original plumbing. North-side subdivisions like Stone Oak are mostly newer slab homes with attic HVAC equipment.

Other risks in San Antonio

Expansive clay and slab leaks

Clay soils swell and shrink with rain and drought, cracking slabs and the plumbing beneath them.

Ceiling water damage repair questions

Do I need a permit for repairs in San Antonio?

Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of San Antonio Development Services Department.

Do I need a licensed mold company in San Antonio?

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.
