Default Huge bubble in bathroom ceiling

acrylic paint will bubble up from condensation getting behind it.
I hate that type of paint. it does not allow anything to breathe.

|I don't appreciate being called a troll or a jackass. This is the first

problem. I

people

| criticized. I appreciate all the other suggestions outside of this,
which
| could have been kept to yourself.
|

| shower. I normally take a shower very early in the morning before
going to
| work but I did not go to work today so I took a shower later in the
day. It
| happened right after taking a shower. I have been in and out all day,
and
| have finally made it home now. The dripping that was occurring
(actually,
| it was just drops, the bucket I put underneath it when I left this
| afternoon has not one single drop of water in it) has stopped. I will
| call my home warranty company and see if they can tell if it is a leak
| from my upstairs tenant.
|
| Again, thank you all for the helpful responses and taking the time to
| respond to me. To "mm" - no one forced you to respond, therefore if
you
| wasted your time that was obviously on you. Maybe you're just a
smartass
| or a know-it-all who has to put your two cents into everything. I
didn't
| need your two cents, as you can see, as there are MANY, MANY other
helpful
| people out there.

| Get a bunch of buckets, or a biggg bucket, and get rid of anything
| that will be damaged by the spilling splattering water, and put a
hole
| in the lowest part of the bubble. Have someone hold the next bucket
| in the stream above the bucket on the floor that just got filled. It
| will take all of 2 to 5 seconds so be ready to go. Even though it
| might, don't assume the water will come out where you put the hole.
| Be ready to move the bucket.
|
| If you don't when it does burst, which could be any minute, there
will
| be more damage to the ceiling and more to what's underneath.
|
| It might be caused by your shower if your house is upside down and
| you're all walking on your heads. Otherwise it's a leak upstairs.
|
| You have a homerepairlive address and you're asking this question? I
| think you are a troll who wasted some of my time. Grow up and stop
| being a jackass.
