Ceiling Stains?

Ceiling stains often signal water intrusion, even when the mark is faint. In the photo above, the stain was barely noticeable until I scanned the ceiling with my flashlight. To be certain, I followed my standard protocol—verifying the area with both an infrared camera and a moisture meter, which confirmed elevated moisture.

If you notice even the smallest stain overhead, please don’t ignore it. A quick investigation—or, better yet, a visit from a trusted home inspector—can help safeguard your home before minor moisture turns into major repairs. As a home inspector in the La Grange area I’m always happy to help you keep your home dry, sound, and worry-free.
