Scenario: Returning from a wonderful holiday to find your home damaged by water is a nightmare scenario for any homeowner. It could be as minor as seepage affecting some flooring and rugs, or as severe as standing water on the property. Either way, water damage is harmful and needs to be dealt with correctly.
Early Detection of Water Damage
Early detection of water damage can save your belongings and a lot of money that would be spent on recovery. Some of the main signs of water damage include:
- A bad odor in the home, such as something rotten or wet socks
- Visible water on the property
- Swelling in wooden floors or walls
- Puffy paint and water stains on walls
- Sounds of water dripping, leaking, or flowing
- Electrical devices not working or areas of the home not receiving any electricity at all
- Signs of water on roofing tiles
- Rust and corrosion on materials
Certain areas of the home are more prone to water damage than others, such as basements. If you know of any weak areas in your home, examine these sensitive areas first to make sure your home is unaffected.
Impact of Water Damage
Minor water damage can be fixed relatively easily and doesn’t cost much to fix. However, extensive water damage can be quite serious and impact the structure’s integrity. Even after fixing the water source, the impact of water damage may still be present in the form of waterborne diseases or mold.
