Sometimes finding out you have water damage is an unpleasant surprise, other times flooding and water damage are obvious. Either way, there are some important signs of water damage to look for in your home or other property. Your home should have been built at the highest point of the property so that water flows away from it. Gutters should also be installed to direct water away from the home. If water is not being properly diverted due to faulty gutter/downspout installation or a problem with slope, then flooding and water damage could easily become a problem. Along with these, if the shingles or roofing aren’t in good condition, you could get water damage in your attic or upstairs. Windows and doors should have proper sealing to keep outside elements outside. If the sealing is old or faulty, water could creep inside and cause damage or flooding.

Water can also come from the inside. Check for water rings, discoloration, warping, peeling, and cracking on ceilings and walls. These are all signs of water damage. Soft or sagging spots on the floor may indicate water damage as well. Areas around piping and water-using appliances are especially vulnerable to leaking water. Check up on the areas of your home with piping to make sure your pipes aren’t leaking and are in good, fairly newer condition. If you smell something musty or see mold, you likely have a mildew problem coming from excess moisture and water damage. Lastly, keep an eye on your water bills to make sure they don’t spike up. If you suddenly owe a larger amount than usual, you may have water leaking somewhere in your home.

If you suspect water damage or know that water is damaging your property, call TCM Restoration for 24/7 immediate assistance.
