        "text": "Ceiling drywall poses a severe collapse danger when saturated, whereas wall drywall primarily faces mold and stability concerns. Water pooling on top of ceiling board adds massive weight; gypsum dissolves under water, causing screws to tear through and panels to fall without warning. If your ceiling is sagging, bulging, or discolored, place a bucket underneath and carefully puncture the center with a screwdriver to relieve water weight before it tears down entire sheets. Saturated ceiling drywall almost always requires immediate replacement.",
