Why is my ceiling leaking? The usual causes
The first question we ask: does it leak only when it rains, or also when it is dry? A rain-only leak points to the roof or gutters. A leak on dry days points to plumbing, the water tank, aircond drainage or an upstairs bathroom.
- Roof: cracked tiles, ridge mortar, flashing at the party wall, or a leaking flat roof slab
- Gutters: blocked or overflowing valley and box gutters
- Bathroom above: failed waterproofing under the tiles or a leaking floor trap
- Aircond: blocked or disconnected drain pipes and condensation from trunking
- Plumbing and water tank: leaking joints, overflow pipes or tank corrosion in the roof space
How we fix a ceiling leak
We fix the source first, then the ceiling. Repairing the ceiling alone is never the first step.
- Triage questions and a moisture check on the stained area
- Trace the water path: roof walk or drone where safe, roof space check, water test on suspected areas
- Repair the source: roof, gutter, bathroom waterproofing, aircond drain or plumbing
- Let the area dry, then repair or replace damaged ceiling boards and repaint
- Final check after the next rain or water test

How do I stop my ceiling from leaking?
First, find the source. Put a container under the drip, switch off any light circuit nearby, and note whether it leaks only during rain or also on dry days. Then have the roof, gutters, upstairs bathroom, aircond drain and plumbing checked. Fixing the source is what stops the leak; repairing the ceiling comes after.
How much does ceiling leak repair cost in Malaysia?
It depends on the cause. Minor roof leak repairs cost RM350 to RM1,800, flat roof membrane waterproofing RM7 to RM9 per sq ft, and bathroom waterproofing RM2,500 to RM6,000 per bathroom. Ceiling board repair is quoted after inspection. The exact price is confirmed after our free inspection.
Why is my ceiling leaking when it is not raining?
A ceiling that leaks on dry days usually has a non-roof cause: a failed bathroom floor waterproofing upstairs, a leaking water pipe, an overflowing water tank in the roof space, or a blocked aircond drain. Our technician checks these during the inspection so you do not pay for roof work that would not help.
