Typical causes include:

Signs of Water Damage
Watch for:
- Mold risk from prolonged moisture exposure in drywall or insulation
- Stained ceilings or walls, especially yellow or brown discoloration

- Bubbling paint or drywall tape separating from the surface
- Warping or sagging sections of ceiling drywall
