Noticing Water Damage?

8/29/2024 (Permalink)

The damage of a water leak or large spill can be overlooked as soon as the water is dried and not visible. You may think to yourself that the issue is resolved. However, there is a chance the water damage is substantial but you just can’t notice it. Many times the water damage is hidden or the effects have not taken place yet. Some signs of extensive water damage include:

• Increased humidity levels or an unpleasant musty odor in the affected area
• Mold begins to grow
• The wall paint begins peeling or bubbling
• Cracks begin forming in your wall
• Your flooring begins to warp, lift, or deform
• There are stains, dark spots, or discoloration on your walls or floor
• If you hear a dripping sound or running water behind your walls, this may possibly mean the leak source has not been fixed yet and it's still causing water damage
