Causes of Water Damage

Hidden water leaks can be a nightmare to diagnose and find, and time is of the essence. The signs may not be apparent right away. It’s critical to track down the leak as soon as water leakage is suspected,Common causes of water damage include:

• Malfunctioning plumbing fixtures such as toilet
• Malfunctioning appliances such as water heater blowing up
• Mold or mildew in a bathroom or kitchen that returns even after being cleaned
• Stained ceilings may indicate water in floors or walls
• Blistering paint and cracking walls
• Water pooling on floor, buckling or cupped wood floors (especially in a slab-foundation home)
• Old supply hoses on your washing machine- these fail between 8-9 years and will allow water to pour into your home
• Dry rot in wooden components of structure
• Water build-up
• Sudden increase in water bill
