Common causes of water damage and their consequences

 

Water damage can be caused by various, often unpredictable factors:

  • Water leaks: Water leaks are one of the most common causes of water damage. They can originate from damaged pipes, faulty seals, malfunctioning appliances (dishwashers, washing machines, etc.), or even the roof.
  • Flooding: Flooding, whether caused by heavy rainfall, sewer backup, or water infiltration, can lead to significant water damage.
  • Pipe bursts: A burst water pipe can quickly flood an entire room, or even an entire building, causing substantial damage to structures and belongings.

 

The consequences of untreated water damage can be disastrous:

 

  • Structural Damage: Excessive moisture can lead to the deterioration of building materials (wood, drywall, etc.), mold formation, and foundation deterioration.
  • Health Problems: Mold produced by moisture can cause allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues.
  • Loss of Property: Material goods (furniture, electronics, etc.) can be irreversibly damaged by water and humidity
  • Increased Costs: Repair and restoration costs can be very high if the damage is not addressed promptly.
