Major Warning Signs of Water Damage

• The sound of water leaking is one of the first warning signs of water damage. Keep an ear out for water rushing, cracks in the pipes, dripping faucets, and leaking appliances.
• Continually wet or damp walls that have been harmed by water. Drywall damage may develop when moisture builds up within the wall and causes the material to expand and crack.
• There is an unpleasant smell associated with dampness. The presence of strange scents may indicate water damage.
• Water damage means water stains, since water damage always leaves behind visible evidence of its presence. The damage manifests itself visually as water leaking in, wallpaper curling up, and discoloration.
• It is easy to notice signs of mold and mildew development because mold thrives in humid and dark environments.

• When you detect a musty odor, it's a good idea to look for signs of water damage, such as peeling paint, rust, or mildew.
