Give it time — carefully
After a real exterior fix, residual moisture in drywall can take days to dry. Mark the stain edge with pencil and date.
If the mark grows or you see active water, call before painting over it.
Check the attic
- Wet or compressed insulation above the stain
- Daylight at penetrations
- Frost patterns that point to air leaks
- Condensation vs rain timing
When we reopen the scope
Active leaks after our repair get a prompt return look under warranty terms in your paperwork.
Interior paint and texture are often owner or separate trade — we focus on stopping water at the exterior first.
