This is usually caused by a leak in the roof or where the rain gutter
meets the house. And in some rare instances, by a leaking pipe in the ceiling
or wall. Once you have the roof patched or the leak handled you now have a
stain that needs to be taken care of.
If the stain
is on a painted wall or ceiling and you know the color, you just need to paint
the stain first with an oil base primer (so the stain will not come through the
paint), then paint it with the correct color. If you need to match the color
then you can go to a hardware store that has a means to computer match paint
and get paint matched that way. If you have a “cottage cheese” ceiling that has
not been painted and is clean, it would be best if you got some white “Kilz”
spray paint and spray the stain with that.Need assistance? Call me at (818) 548-8760
