Common Causes of Water Damage
- Pipes and plumbing issues: Plumbing problems such as a burst pipe or a loose pipe joint can cause water damage.
- Appliances: Washing machine, dishwasher, and water heater defects are common causes of water damage, including tank leaks and hose deterioration.
- Water build-up in basements or crawl spaces: As your home’s lowest point, your basement or crawl space is highly susceptible to moisture accumulation and damage.
- Roof defects: If your roof has missing tiles, broken flashing, or blocked gutters, rainwater will flow into your roof deck or attic, causing damage to your ceilings and other structural components.
- Natural Disasters: Weather events such as storms and high winds can lead to extensive water damage.
After a flood, you may get the water out of your building, but you will still have problems with wet surfaces, high humidity levels, and mold growth. With All Dry USA’s help, you can prevent these issues and unnecessary expenses from the beginning.
