WATER STAINS ON THE WALLS OR ON THE CEILING

   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.
