Hidden Water Damage Information from ServiceMaster of Prescott

water damage in Prescott - Water Restoration by ServiceMaster Prescott
Prescott Arizona has a lot to offer, including wonderful seasons that come with some hidden costs. One of these costs can include water damage. Once given a chance due to a freeze, extreme heat or an old broken pipe, water flows anywhere it wants to. This includes the walls and floors of your house. Once it’s loose inside your house, it’s important to be aware of signs of water damage in hidden places. 

ServiceMaster of Prescott brings you these signs of water damage to be aware of:

Distasteful odors. Hidden residual water stagnates and fosters mold and bacterial growth. This will produces a musty, earthy smell that’s a red flag indicating undetected water damage.

Visual signs of mold growth. Airborne mold spores are microscopic and find their way into hidden nooks and crannies in the structure of the home. So does water. When moisture contacts dormant spores, active mold growth begins. If you notice fuzzy discolorations in out-of-the-way spaces, have them evaluated by a ServiceMaster of Prescott technician.

Seeping Stains on walls and ceilings. Water that seeps into wall voids and the space between levels often manifests as a stain or blotch as it slowly saturates the adjacent wall board or ceiling.

Flaking paint. Another symptom of loose water inside wall spaces is peeling paint on the exterior of the wall.  Drywall saturates and causes paint to lose adhesion.

Drooping walls and ceilings. Saturated drywall or ceiling materials become very heavy with the added water weight. Eventually, they begin to deform and buckle. Water-soaked walls and ceilings present a safety hazard if they collapse.

Damaged Floors. Water always seeks the lowest level and seeps under floor coverings like carpet, tile, and vinyl, soaking into the sub floor. Removal of some floor coverings, particularly carpet and padding, may be necessary to effectively dry the area.
