ceiling damage

Ruined upper surface

Ceiling damage refers to harm or deterioration to an overhead interior surface—water stains, cracks, sagging, or holes in the ceiling of a room.

Water damage from leaky roofs or burst pipes is the most common culprit: The landlord finally addressed the ceiling damage after months of complaints.

In insurance and real estate contexts, ceiling damage often signals larger structural problems.
