Signs of water damage in your bathroom

7/27/2020 (Permalink)

If your property suffers from a bathroom water damage contact SERVPRO of Metrocrest (972) 233-8400.

Water damage in your bathroom is not always easy to find since water is a normal occurrence in bathrooms.

There are many hidden culprits such as cracked shower tiles, or leaky seals around a toilet bowl where tiny leaks can end up causing large amounts of damage to the floorboards, walls, and ceilings.

Knowing what to look for is vital for any property owners. The following tips will prevent extensive water damage in bathrooms.

A Soft Floor

If you know your home was built with a wooden floor truss system, the sub floor is most likely made of plywood. If the plywood is subjected to moisture, the subfloor will rot, and the floor will begin to feel soft or spongy in places. This could lead to your entire floor collapsing if left unattended.

Trust Your Nose

If you smell something musty or damp, it could be due to moisture damage lurking behind the walls. Although many older homes have this smell, rooms with actual damage have a more prominent smell. Sometimes you might not be able to see it but be sure to trust your nose.

Warped Walls

When drywall absorbs water, it begins to swell and becomes soft. This is another clear sign that may point to an extensive problem. Over time, the damaged area starts to crumble, especially around the baseboards. If you run your hand across the wall and it feels uneven or looks crooked when you look at it, you could have water damage behind the walls.

Visible Mold

Mold is built from the inside out so that by the time you can see it, no matter how much you scrub, the problem will not go away. You will need the help of our specialists to return your home to a safe place for the whole family.

If your property suffers from a bathroom water damage, call SERVPRO of Metrocrest to help make things, “Like it never even happened.” (972) 233-8400.
