  1. Shut the main water valve; if the leak stops within a minute it is supply, if it keeps coming it is roof, drain or an appliance above.
  2. Put a bucket under the drip and, if the ceiling is bulging, pierce the low point with a screwdriver to let it drain in one place.
  3. Move furniture and electronics out from under it and photograph the ceiling before anything else changes.

Questions people ask

Is a ceiling leak in St. Mary's more likely to be the roof or a pipe?

A leak that shows up during or right after snow or heavy rain usually traces to the roof or a clogged drain above it, while a leak with no recent weather behind it is more likely a supply line or a fitting that failed on its own.
