Best Answer

Could be a couple of different reasons....

Your ceiling joists could be longer than the recommended span for the size of the joist [ie: 2x6 or 2x8], and over time the weight of the ceiling material and whatever is directly above them may be bowing the ceiling down....

or

In older homes with plaster ceilings with wood lath instead of gypsum sheet panels [sheetrock], the plaster sometimes breaks free from the wood lath and sags. This especially happens when there has been a water leak above the ceiling at some point......
