Water damage claims are among the most common ones filed by homeowners every year. And they’re a growing number of claims. Industry experts explain that the number of fire damage claims have been dropping over recent years, but the number of claims for water damage has risen steadily.
If you’re an Alamo Heights area homeowner, you may be wondering when you could need water damage restoration help.
Sometimes a leak from the dishwasher cable or refrigerator, if caught early, can be cleaned up with old towels or a mop. But in other cases, you may need professional help to set your home back to its original state and prevent further damage to your property.
Signs to Look for When Dealing With Water Damage
Here’s what you might notice when you’re dealing with water damage that needs remediation by professionals:
You notice signs of mold. Does your home have a musty odor? That can be among the first signs of mold damage, meaning if you notice that scent, it’s time to call in a professional to help you deal with remediation issues.
Your floorboards or furniture are starting to warp. Damaged wood will start to warp within days. If that happens in your home, it’s best to start seeking help from professionals who can help you restore your home. This type of damage only gets worse over time.
You notice issues with the windows or walls in your home. Like your floors, your window panes and walls can start to warp if the water damage is severe enough. Depending on how severe your water issues are, this can be a sign of a major issue. That means it’s imperative if you notice these signs to get remediation help very soon.
