Most likely, it's water stains, you do need to cut a section and see what's causing the stains.

My husband would be happy to arrange an appointment if you'd like to give you a free estimate on cutting a piece, after finding out what's there then fixing and close the ceiling back up with board, plaster and paint.

You can certainly get it done for the lowest possible.

If you find a home and need renovation and restoration we would be happy to help you with the whole process.

Denton, curious what your actual solution was. I saw the pix on South Slope Reno. Did you clean or strip or seal before you put up the framing? Are you using any special mold-resistant insulation or drywall? Won't new sheetrock walls hide any moisture that is coming in?

Thanks!

He even listed on his website that it's done, which it clearly is not. 2 months later and I'm still waiting for his plumber Doug to come replace the shower body that he broke. I call and text and email and they either don't return my calls or they don't show up when they say they're coming or they keep saying tomorrow, tomorrow. Not to mention, Doug put in my new tub not knowing how to install the trip lever (which stops the drainage), and I wound up with a really cheap push drainer because the trip lever will not function unless he removes the tub. They say they can do small to large jobs and you don't have to pay upfront, but that's not the case, they still ask you for the money even if the job is not done. STAY AWAY from these guys.

Aside from all of the Contractors who are touting their own work and asking you to call them, you should call M.R.S. Construction and speak with Michael Streaman. Mike just finished the project in Brooklyn for This Old House, amazing job!!!

Excavation--not always such a good idea. My architect fiance and I were just discussing this today about the extra few inches of headroom we could use for the bathroom in the basement we are adding (I said, "Why don't we just dig the basement out a few inches") and he said that this sometimes cause the building's WALLS TO COLLAPSE. Why? Because the lateral forces from your floor are pushing out and HOLDING UP your walls. In other words, the support posts are not the only things holding your house up. So if you dig, you have to do it in patches and shore up the walls with concrete.

Needless to say, consult a professional before digging. And for those of you who have already dug, you might want to have an engineer check things out.
