Most homeowners have seen the symptoms of water damage. Some of the more obvious symptoms include mold, mildew, or a leak in the ceiling. However, there are somewhat less obvious symptoms that can include cracked finishes, peeling paint, or rust.
What these all have in common, though, is that they are only symptoms of the problem, and not the cause itself. Painting over a brown spot on the ceiling, for instance, may look like a fix, but eventually, the brown spot will return. Since water plays such a big role in our lives, issues can come from every different direction. It could be coming from a cracked pipe inside your walls, a leaky gutter, a damaged dehumidifier, or a dozen other places. When you notice symptoms of water loss, it’s important to have a professional help you to determine where the actual water loss is happening, and what you can do to address the issue.
