If water is actively leaking or pouring through your ceiling, you must take immediate emergency action to protect your home. First, place large buckets and towels directly beneath the leak, and turn off electrical circuit breakers supplying power to the room to prevent electrocution hazards. If you notice a heavy, water-filled bulge or sagging pocket in the drywall, carefully poke a small hole in the center with a screwdriver to release the trapped water into a bucket, preventing a catastrophic ceiling collapse. Verification: Call an emergency plumber or roofer to fix the leak source immediately.
