Our team can ensure that stains like this are identified at the source, eliminating water damage!

While water damage from overflowing appliances is simple to spot, most other types of water damage require searching for clues to locate. The quicker you can locate a potential water outbreak, the smaller the scope of the damage will be. We’ll show you the most telling signs of hidden water damage in your property below:

Look For Questionable Ceiling Stains

You should always be mindful of brown or yellow patches on ceilings and floors. They likely point to a burst pipe or roof leak, two problems that need to be addressed right away to prevent significant costs.

Mold Growth

If you notice any musty odors or black or green blotches, it may mean that you have mold growth lingering on your property! It could be caused by a humidity problem, but it often points to a water damage incident you haven’t found yet.

Higher Than Normal Water Bills

You should have a good idea of what you pay for your water bill from month to month. If you notice any unusual spikes in this cost, there’s likely an issue in your plumbing that’s causing you to use more water than you anticipated! It’s not the fastest way to determine the issue, but it is the most proven.
