7 Signs of Hidden Water Damage in Your Home

The worst water damage is the kind nobody sees for months. Watch for these:

1. Stains or bubbling paint on ceilings or walls
2. Soft or spongy flooring, especially around toilets, tubs and the dishwasher
3. Baseboards pulling away or swelling at the bottom
4. A musty smell in one room or the basement
5. A water bill that jumps without a reason
6. Warped cabinet bottoms under sinks
7. Peeling caulk or loose tile around the shower

If you see one of these, don't wait. We use moisture meters to find how far the water went without tearing out more than we need to, then fix the source and the damage. See water damage restoration.
