<human>:  I have a leak in the ceiling of my house and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. How can I fix the problem?
<bot>: The first step would be to identify the source of the leak. If the leak is coming from a roof, you may need to repair or replace worn roofing material. If the leak is coming from a pipe or other plumbing, you may need to repair or replace the pipe or install new seals to keep water from leaking. A professional plumber is best equipped to assess and address a plumbing issue. If the source is a problem with the roof, you may be able to handle the repair yourself. Be sure to inspect for signs of additional damage and replace any deteriorated shingles before patching the leak.
