1. Discolourations or Stains
Look out for discolouration on the ceiling and your home’s interior and exterior walls. These watermarks are usually quite telling. Without acting quickly, you risk having mould develop, which can cause health problems.
2. Cracks, bubbles, or flaking
There’s a possibility that water damage exists if the drywall or paint on your ceiling or walls cracks, bubbles, or flakes. Water damage is severe and should never be taken lightly. It can have a significant impact on your home.
3. Puddles or pools of water
Puddles of water may appear on your flooring or furniture. Water damage of this kind is often caused by a leaky pipe or plumbing fixture.
4. Smell
It smells like rotten eggs or mould can indicate a problem with your home’s HVAC system. If you smell something foul, it is best to call a professional immediately.
5. Wet carpet
Carpet that has been soaked with water for longer than 24 hours is a clear indication of water damage. The carpet will need to be replaced.
6. Higher utility costs
Has your water bill suddenly increased? These could be a sign of a hidden leak.
7. Soggy basement
Soggy basements are a common occurrence after heavy rainstorms. Consult a professional right away if you see any signs of moisture in your basement.
8. Black mould
Black mould can grow anywhere where there is dampness. If you suspect black mould, you should call a professional immediately. Mould can lead to respiratory issues such as asthma attacks and even death.
9. Worn-out appliances
