I live in an apartment, and the living room ceiling near the deck has a
rain leak: During the biggest rainstorms, some water drips down onto my
carpet from one particular spot on the ceiling. There's a stain on the
ceiling there too.

I've had the maintenance people in my apartment twice, but so far they
have failed to fix the problem. They'll have to try again next week.

While they're still trying to figure it out, is there some *temporary*
fix I can use to stop the water from dripping from the ceiling every
time there's a big storm?

Silicone caulk?
Rope caulk?
Anything else?


Steven, whatever you do, just want to wish you luck especially with
the snow storm coming. If possible, can you keep us up to date down
the road? Stay warm and safe.
