Water damage can be subtle and difficult to detect at first, but some common signs may indicate the presence of water damage in a home or building.

If you notice any of these signs, addressing the issue as soon as possible is important to prevent further damage and potential health hazards.

Here are some of the most common signs of water damage:

  • Discoloration

    Stains or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors can be a sign of water damage. These stains may appear yellow, brown, or even black.

  • Odor

    A musty or damp smell may indicate the presence of water damage or mold growth.

  • Peeling paint or wallpaper

    Water damage can cause paint or wallpaper to peel or bubble.

  • Changes in texture

    Water damage can cause materials like drywall or wood to become soft, warped, or swollen.

  • Mold growth

    Water damage can lead to the growth of mold, which may appear as fuzzy, green or black patches.
