Water damage is a recurring problem that many people face every year. Therefore, it’s essential to know what signs to look for when water damage occurs. So you can take the appropriate steps to prevent further damage from occurring. If you notice any of these warning signs, call Reztor Restoration immediately:
Mould or mildew growth:
Mould and mildew grow in moist areas like bathrooms and kitchens. However, it thrives in dark, moist places, producing spores that float around. The spores start to grow into a mould when they land on surfaces.
Discolouration:
Discolouration may be caused by mould, but it could also be caused by other substances such as bleach or even food. It can appear anywhere on your walls, ceilings, floors, etc.
Musty odours:
They are often associated with mould, but they’re not always related. Some smells are created by bacteria living inside the walls, which can cause unpleasant odours.
Sudden wetness:
Wetness can occur suddenly after heavy rainfall or gradually over several days. In either case, if there is no way to explain where the water came from, then it should be investigated.
Swelling:
Swelling is another sign of water damage. It happens because water expands when it enters porous materials. That causes objects to swell, which makes them heavier than usual.
