Common causes of water damage
Water damage can be costly to repair. Find out what causes damage to be better prepared in case repairs are needed for your home.
Storms
Whether it’s rain, thunderstorms, hurricanes or any other severe weather, there’s always a chance water damage could happen. Storms are unpredictable and it can be difficult to tell how much water damage actually occurs. If water is able to enter straight into your home, more damage can be done.
Clogged gutters
Gutters are supposed to direct rainwater away from your house, but the opposite can happen if they are clogged. If debris like leaves and branches isn’t removed, then water will overflow and enter your home. Clogged gutters can cause damage to your ceiling, walls and floors due to water flowing down.
Leaking pipes
Leaking or loose-fitting pipes can do a surprising amount of damage to your home. The amount of damage that occurs will depend on the location of the pipe and how big the leak is. A broken pipe that is inside a wall can ruin the entire wall. Even a small leak can cause mold that is difficult to get rid of.
Blocked drains
There are many common reasons for the drains in your kitchen, bathroom and bathtub to get clogged. Remembering to clean and maintain them is important. If drains are neglected they can get backed up and overflow causing flooding.
