3 Major Water Damage Signs in Your Home

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think about water damage until it’s too late. By then, the damage has been done and it’s time for a water damage cleanup crew to come in and take care of the mess. Spotting water damage signs before it becomes a major problem is imperative in avoiding costly damage repairs or a potential claim.

Wet or bubbling areas

Whether on the ceiling, drywall, or in a cabinet, if any areas are feeling wet or damp, near a source of water or not, this is one of the first signs of water damage. Aside from touching the area, bubbling or warping may be evident as well. If the cause of water damage can be easily identified, stopping the leak or pooling is the first step. If the cause is unknown, calling out a leak detection company or a damage restoration company like Pro Master Cleaning Restoration, is best as they can help identify just how wet the area is and the likely source.

Water Stains

Water stains are often most visible on ceilings or walls. They typically present themselves as brown or yellowing spots based on the material. They are not always indicative of present water damage, they likely were caused by sitting water and unless the timeline of the water stain is known, it is recommended to have a professional perform a moisture reading to ensure there is no active water damage.

Humidity or Dampness

If your home or a particular room feels humid or damp, even with the air conditioning on, this may be a sign of water damage. This feeling means there is enough stagnant moisture in the are allowing the humidity to increase. This sign means that it is time to call a damage restoration company right away.
