Signs of Water Damage in Your Home

If you’re considering our West Vancouver water damage restoration team, you may have already noticed water damage in your home. But for some homeowners, the signs of a potential water damage problem can be hard to identify.

Let’s review some of the obvious signs that it’s time to call a restoration professional for your West Vancouver home:

• Water stains on walls and ceiling : Water stains on the walls or ceiling of your home may be a sign that an interior pipe is leaking and has been damaged for some time. Ceilings under bathrooms and kitchen walls are particularly prone to water stains.

• Rising water costs : If you notice rising water costs in your home, it’s likely that there’s a leak somewhere in the property that has caused damage or is likely to cause damage. Take the time to consult our team directly if you have any questions about the increase in your monthly water bills.

• Musty odours : After a flood or other water-related emergency, you may smell musty odors inside your home, even after you’ve cleaned the property from top to bottom. Often, the musty odor is related to mold growth that occurs when moisture settles into the property after water damage.

How to Protect Your Home in the Event of Water Damage

Now that you know a little more about how to determine the signs of water damage on your property, it’s important to take the time to learn how to protect your home when you identify them. Here are a few tips to keep your home safe until our trusted West Vancouver water damage restoration team arrives:

• Shut off the main water supply : If you have access to your home’s main water supply, you should turn off the water supply to prevent further water damage.

• Remove belongings from water-damaged areas : If it’s safe to do so, remove items such as furniture and clothing from the water-damaged area of your home. This will limit the amount of restoration work carried out by our team and save time in the restoration process.

• Block off the damaged area : You can then temporarily block off the damaged area of the house so that pets and small children don’t have access to it. If there’s no door separating the space from the rest of the house, try blocking off the area with plywood and other solid materials.
