Signs Of Light Water Damage In Norwalk

3/13/2020 (Permalink)

Water damage in a Norwalk home can occur from a small amount of water, not just a big flood. A small leak in your roof can lead to a small amount of water creeping in, causing the need for water damage remediation. Some water will evaporate on its own, and will not cause any damage.  That being said, you may have trouble determining at what point that you need professional help from a company like SERVPRO of Norwalk/Wilton. If you are on the fence, look for either one of these indicators of minor water damage, that if left untreated, could cause more serious damage.

Warped and Discolored Walls, Ceilings, or Floors

If you observe any of these in your home or business, you may have minor water damage. Surfaces like drywall or hardwood floors often change shape or color when water soaks them, and then evaporates.  If you have not had visible water, but have these conditions, you should investigate further. You may unearth minor water damage that has happened, or it currently happening.

A Surface That Is Moist When Felt

On the off chance that you discover a wall, floor, or interior roofing that is wet to the touch with no clear reason, odds are that this dampness might be caused by a small, but constant amount of water coming into contact with it.  When water is present behind any of these surfaces for too long, secondary damage like mold growth and foul odors can occur.
