It is not uncommon for people to fail to recognize a water problem, causing damage to their property. You may not see the damage for weeks or even months. Whenever there is a problem with water damage, you must act quickly. It is possible to cause water damage for a variety of reasons.
Common Types of Damage
Sewage Cleanup
Whenever toilets or sinks clog, sewage cleanup is necessary. When sewage spills, toxic black or gray water seeps into the environment contaminated with human, animal, or biological waste. A trained professional should always clean sewage as it can pose a health risk during restoration.
Structural Damage
The presence of water in your home can cause structural damage, which makes it unsafe. It is possible to have a house or property collapse due to water seeping inside walls, the foundation, or wood or concrete framing. It is also possible for drywall damage to your ceiling to cause havoc on your home and non-structural damage to the drywall.
Broken Pipes
Whenever plumbing pipes burst or break, they can cause significant damage. The problem must be addressed as soon as possible. In addition to a water restoration company, you may need to hire a plumber.
Home insurance policies cover some broken pipes, but those that burst because of aging or neglect are not. If a water heater leaks or malfunctions, a warranty might cover it.
Causes
You may experience water damage if your roof leaks, your pipes break, or if you have a clogged gutter. Mold can grow in poorly ventilated or maintained homes, particularly in crawl spaces and basements without proper ventilation.
Sometimes, water destruction is beyond your control due to storms, flooding, or other natural disasters. Understanding the leak’s cause is essential so you can stop it and avoid further damage.
Leaky Roof
Your home can suffer significant damage from leaking roofs and deteriorating roofs with existing damage. After a particularly bad rainfall or heavy snowfall, old or damaged roofs can appear sufficient. Usually, homeowners do not notice water damage until months or years later.
Broken Pipe or Gutter
If your pipes are broken, a slow leak or a sudden gush can damage your home. Depending on how much water is present, plumbing issues can vary. Symptoms of a broken pipe may become apparent very quickly, such as a leaky toilet or sink, an outdoor gutter breaking down, a ruptured dishwasher or washing machine hose, or a burst faucet. The leaking from worn parts can be gradual, starting with slow drips from broken pipes.
Condensation
It is common for older and newer homes to have condensation as one of the most common sources of contamination, and it can easily be ignored for months or years. Condensation can occur whenever an air conditioner leaks, malfunctions, or isn’t properly drained. Mold can grow over time on walls, ceilings, and floors when moisture accumulates.
