The Hidden Risks of Water Damage

Mold and Health Hazards

Even a small leak or crack can lead to water collecting where it shouldn’t, creating the perfect environment for mold growth. Mold can:

• Spread spores that cause skin irritations, breathing issues, and chronic sickness.
• Slowly damage your health over time when left unchecked.

While many homes have some level of mold, the presence of water exacerbates the problem, making it a serious health concern.

Structural Damage and Property Value

Water damage isn’t just harmful to health – it can also:

• Lead to structural damage that worsens over time and may go unnoticed until it becomes a major issue.
• Impact your home’s value, as a history of water damage and repairs can lower property worth.

Spotting Water Damage and Plumbing Hazards

Be vigilant for signs of water damage, including:

• Strange or Foul-Smelling Odours:
  • Musty smells may indicate mold.
  • Sewage smells are a clear sign of plumbing issues.
  • Unpleasant scents from faucet water could mean a leaky sewer pipe exposing your water supply to contamination.
• Visible Signs of Damage:
  • Discolouration, faint outlines of water stains, or bulging on walls and ceilings.
