It is in a lot of Florida houses, including mine. My house was built
in 1986 ... the popcorn falls in bits and pieces but it stays on
through paintings. We bought a fancy, long shaggy roller to use when
painting and it didn't work as well as the cheap through away types
that cost about a dollar at the store. We were using white latex
ceiling paint. I have read that you can remove it but it's a messy
job. You can buy some stuff at Home Depot to patch it if you get
large places where it has fallen off but I have not used it and don't
know if it really works.

The fact that it is falling off is not a sign of leaks or damage ...
it's just the way it is.
