I have this problem with my ceiling... It drips and its annoying!?

Question

It is a wooden ceiling, I have checked the outside to see if the is any crack but there is none. Only thing I can think of is some sort of condensation that builds up and then it drips down. Only happens during the day, when the sun is out. Stops at night and it is only in some spots (Same spots every day. What can I do? Serious answers only please!

Answer 1

Sounds like there might be some sort of ventilation problem in the attic space above. If you live in a humid climate, perhaps vater vapor is condensing in the attic.

If there is an enclosed space above, make sure it is ventilated properly.

Answer 2

You need to call a contractor before your ceiling gets anymore damaged and begins to get dryrot and start to mildew. It's not good for you to breath. Plus the longer you wait...the more damage it could be causing. Do you have an attic. If so check up there. Make sure there's no piping up there...or even a vent that's cause to much condensation. That's not good.

I'd have the AC checked... it's going to run more during the day, and if the pan is collecting water and overflowing, it can drip into your ceiling. Since your ceiling is wood, the water is going to make it warp. Continuous exposure to excess moisture is giong to cause it to rot. You should have this fixed ASAP. If your AC unit is not above your problem spot, make sure you don't have plumbing lines that are leaking.

Answer 4

If you really believe it's condensation,and if you have an attic above,try a dehumidifier and see if that helps at all.If not call a contractor.

Answer 5

Ventilation system (ductwork sweating) or could be clogged overflow on your A/C system. You should maybe take a trip to your attic and see if you can find it.
