Water Damage: Miscellaneous

What does bad water damage look like?

Water damage can vary in severity, but some telltale signs of severe damage include:

  • Discoloration or staining on walls, ceilings, or floors: This can indicate water infiltration and potential mold growth.
  • Buckling or warping of wood surfaces: Wood absorbs water, causing it to expand and distort.
  • Musty or moldy odors: These scents can indicate the presence of moisture and microbial growth.
  • Visible mold or mildew: These fungi thrive in damp environments and can cause health concerns.
  • Electrical issues: Water can damage electrical components, leading to flickering lights, blown fuses, or electrical fires.
  • Structural damage: Extensive water damage can weaken building materials, compromising the structural integrity of the property.

If you observe any of these signs, it is crucial to contact a water damage restoration professional immediately to assess the extent of the damage and prevent further issues.
