Water Damage, Kansas City – If water damage is not dealt with quickly, it can worsen over time. There are many signs of water damage that you should look out for, before it is too late. Mold is the enemy! Don’t let it appear in the first place. Within 24 hours mold can multiply into a colony, spreading through the air.
How do you know to call a restoration company who can identify these problems?
#1. Leaks
Should you find leaking, pools of water will form. If a puddle is found, watch out for the same area after it is cleaned up. If it repeats, that is an indication of a problem area.
#2. Sound
Dripping water, whether it be rushing, or creaking floor boards. Check to make sure it is not the functional plumbing you have set up.
#3. Color
If there are discolored “streaks” of water on the side of your house, this may be a sign of gutters that overflow.
#4. Smell
A damp home has a very distinct smell. Mold can form with a specific smell as well. Look out for smells as well as other indicators of water damage.
#5. Mold
We are not just talking about condensation in your bathroom, but other areas of your home. If you see mold, that is a sure sign of water damage. Just as you can not have a fire without smoke. Mold has a smell and can cause health problems.
#6. Temperature
Your home may be damp, which affects the walls, if you find the house difficult to heat. Moisture and water draws heat from the walls, leaving them colder.
