Damp Patch On Bedroom Ceiling
Noticing a damp patch on your ceiling is one of the biggest indications that there s an issue with your roof.
Damp patch on bedroom ceiling. Damp drywall will dry out just fine if you get the water out of it quickly but if water pools for any length of time the paper backing will begin to disintegrate or become food for mold. If there is a brown staining on the wall then yes it is likely to be moisture from above coming through. This would enable them to examine the conditions near the eaves gutter area.
If there is black mould growing on the ceiling then this will be growing on moisture created internally i e. There might be a tear in your waterproof seal for example or a blocked guttering system that s not draining rainwater effectively. Maybe some roofer will ladder up and remove tiles slates from the bottom course of tiles above the bedroom damp signs.
It depends what the damp patch looks like. If this is the case ask a ventilation specialist for a free survey. It is much easier to patch a small area of drywall ceiling than to replace entire drywall panels overhead.
