ceiling stains
Leak's visible aftermath
Ceiling stains are discolorations on a ceiling, typically caused by water damage, smoke, or age.
They often appear as brownish or yellowish marks that spread outward from a source point.
Water stains on ceilings usually indicate a leak from above—a roof problem, burst pipe, or bathroom overflow: The ceiling stains told us the upstairs toilet had been leaking for months.
