Water damage within a home is one of the most detrimental things that can happen to the structure, visual appeal, and longevity of a residence. Water damage may include rusting, molding, or moistening among other things. Many homeowners or prospective home owners have questions regarding water damage in house, some of those frequently asked questions include such as “what are the causes of water damage?” “what areas of property are more susceptible to water damage?” and “what are the hidden signs of water damage?” These questions are often raised, and are valid questions.
“What are the causes of water damage?”
The major causes of water damage could be large rain storms or flash flooding, great snow or ice storming, basically all forces of nature that include condensation. Water damage can also occur after fires or fire damage due to the weakening of structure. Also, poor gutter systems can also contribute.
“What areas of property are more susceptible to water damage?”
Water damage occurs most commonly in areas where there is open piping or use of water such as the bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room. If a pipe is open in a room without proper insulation, especially when the water traveling through the pipe is cold, condensation may occur causing mold or mildew. It is always important to watch out for water damage in the kitchen and bathroom. These two places are the most susceptible to spilling of water and pipes because they are normally the most used. Those checking for water damage may also wish to check crawl spaces to make sure there are no internal leaks in the unseen piping beneath the house.
“What are the hidden signs of water damage?”
There are many signs to look for when checking for water damage. Peeling wall paper is one of the most obvious. This hints at water being leaked into the wall from behind causing the adhesive of the wallpaper to peel. Another sign is the bowing of walls or floors. In some extreme cases, water begins to build up and cause large bubbles in the flooring to be formed. Scent is also something to keep in mind when looking for water damage. Musty carpet or odd smells in the walls can hint at some hidden water damage. One more common sign is moisture building up on walls. If water begins dripping down a wall and there is no clear source, this can hint at condensation build up behind the walls creating the dripping on the visible side.
These are some of the most common questions asked about water damage. It is important to check for water damage to increase the structure life of your home as well as the overall appeal of the home.
