Could my cealing fall down because of mold or mildew?

Question

hi my name is patrick and i have mold or mildew and my cealing is weak so could it fall in

Answer 1

It can collapse from becoming saturated with water (if your roof leaks). If you've got mold in your ceiling, it's getting wet and not drying out, so that's bad.

Answer 2

Same as above.  Mildew comes from moisture.  Moisture Will cause you ceiling to fall.  Don't fix the ceiling until you resolve the moisture problem.

Good Luck

Answer 3

Mold and mildew indicate a water seepage problem. Leaking water on your ceiling can rot away the sheetrock and wooden studs, which can everntually cause a collapse.

Answer 4

The mold and mildew will not make it fall down, but, the mold and mildew are there because the ceiling is wet. The water Will make the ceiling colapse in time. The wood rots and the plaster will disintegrate.

First you must stop the water leak, then fix the ceiling.
