Is Water Leaking from Ceiling an Emergency?

The severity of a ceiling water leak depends on its source. Immediate attention is required if:

• The leak is from a broken or cracked pipe

In these cases, contact a qualified plumber or electrician immediately. For less urgent leaks, it’s still important to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage.
