Mobile Home Repair - Ceiling Stains
Ugly, brown stains are a common feature of mobile home ceilings.
They develop when roof leaks or condensation cause water to drip
onto the ceiling tiles from above.
They persist because because removal is not as simple as
painting over the stain. The stain "bleeds" through paint
leaving it as ugly as before. In addition, many mobile home
ceilings are made with a sprayed on acoustical texture which is
VERY fragile. Painting it with a roller or brushing on a heavy
latex paint is a good way to pull off some of the texture,
leaving a bare, untextured area. Fortunately, stains are easy to
cover if you have the right materials.
There is no point in doing the repair until you are sure the
leak is fixed and your ceiling has dried completely! Then go to
your local paint store or home improvement center paint dept.
and look for an aerosol can labeled "Stain sealing ceiling
paint" or something close to that. Two brands I know of are
"Kilz" and "Zinsser". It will be made to spray straight up and
only comes in one color. Hopefully, the color will be a good
match for your ceiling tiles.
While you are shopping you may also want to buy some of the blue
masking
tape. It costs more than standard masking tape, but
comes off when you are done, without leaving adhesive behind or
pulling anything off when it peels away.
At home, mask the area you plan to spray and put an old sheet or
something on the floor. Then follow the directions on the can to
do the actual spraying. Two light coats with adequate drying
time between them is better than one heavy coat.
In most cases the color of the new area will be close enough to
the old that no additional topcoat is needed. The fact is,
people seldom look up. With the really obvious stain gone there
will be nothing to draw the eye to what is probably a very
subtile difference in color.
The repair described here will cover water stains on ceiling
tiles or wallboard anywhere, not just in mobile homes.
