Have you ever seen a yellow stain on your ceiling and wondered how it got there? Tub waste and overflows, along with the wax seal on your toilet on the floor above are the usual culprits, but until the true cause is identified, plumbers treat stains in the same manner as leaks.
Although the yellow stain on your bathroom ceiling is probably just built up humidity from the ever-changing Canadian weather, our plumbers will analyze every part of your bathroom prior to identifying the cause.
Causes of the yellowing/staining can be anything from residual nicotine build-up to moisture that is pervading in through the roof or attic (worst case scenario). Depending on the shape of the stain and where exactly it is located, our team of reputable plumbing experts will be able to identify the problem (if there is a problem). Most stains have a point of origin, which can offer plumbers insight into not only what they can do next to help you fix it, but how to prevent it from happening again in the future.
Common Culprits
In addition to all that was already mentioned, there may be countless causes for your ceiling stain including:
- Ice dam or attic air leaks
- Shower pan leaks
- Humidifier settings
- A high build-up of condensation
- And more
