Should I fix ceiling damage myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed water damage starting to appear on the ceiling of my bedroom. The plaster is a bit soggy and there are some small leaks that need addressing before they worsen. Should I try tackling this myself or should I call in a professional for cleaning and repairs?

When it comes to fixing ceiling damage due to water leaks, the decision to tackle the issue yourself or call a professional can be tricky. In Dubai and the UAE, regulations around building maintenance are stringent to ensure safety and quality of life for residents. However, given that you're dealing with water damage which could spread if left unchecked, it's often safer to seek professional advice.

Firstly, it’s essential to assess the extent of the damage. If the plaster is soggy or there are signs of mold starting to form, a quick DIY fix might not be enough. Mold can rapidly grow in damp environments and pose health risks if not addressed properly. The UAE's environmental regulations mandate proper handling and disposal of any hazardous materials like mold.

If you decide to call for professional help, I highly recommend reaching out to companies specializing in indoor environmental quality and building sciences.
