Signs of Water Damage
Water damage isn’t always obvious. Here are some key signs that you may have a problem:
• Visible Water or Flooding – Standing water or excessive moisture in areas like basements, crawl spaces, or around appliances.
• Water Stains & Discoloration – Yellow or brown stains on ceilings, walls, or floors may indicate hidden leaks.
• Warped or Buckling Floors & Walls – Water can cause wood and laminate flooring to swell or warp, and drywall to bubble or crack.
• Musty Odors & Mold Growth – A damp, musty smell often signals hidden water damage and potential mold issues.
• Peeling Paint or Wallpaper – Excess moisture can cause paint or wallpaper to bubble and peel.
• Increased Utility Bills – An unexplained rise in your water bill could indicate a hidden leak.
