Places in Your Home to Check for Water Damage

Water damage is any loss that results from water infiltrating an area or place it is not supposed to. It is one of the leading and most common causes of property damage in the US and affects people from west to east coast.

Water damage in a home doesn’t have to be the consequence of a flood. The continuous presence of moisture due to inconspicuous leaks, drippy faucets, corroded seals, and plain ill-maintenance are all factors that lead to the structural damage of a home.

A dry home always lasts longer than a humid one. A moisture-rich environment will lead to rotting of structural foundations, termites, and the growth and spreading of molds. To avoid water damage in your home, regularly maintain and check these areas for any signs of dripping, leaking, or moisture build-up:

Kitchen

Water traffic in the kitchen is high. Clean water flows from the faucet and runs down the drain. Underneath the floors or behind the kitchen walls are water pipes leading to the sinks, and drainage going down to the sump pit. Aside from this, there are also heavy appliances that can leak or hide liquid beneath such as the refrigerator dishwasher, and the stove. Any of these are potential water damage sources.

Bathroom

Another area of the house where water frequents is the bathroom. There are four main sources of water in the bathroom: the toilet, the sink, the shower, and the bathtub. Like the kitchen, there are water and drainage pipes behind walls and under the bathroom floor.

Because toilet water is contaminated, the toilet is one of the most important areas to check for leaking. Check if the seal that holds the toilet in place needs maintenance. Make sure the toilet still flushes properly.

Basement

The sump pit found beneath the basement is where all drainage from the house is directed to. If the sump pump that drains the sump pit fails, a nasty grey water flood ensues. Since the basement is below ground level, water tends to run through tiny cracks in the basement walls and floors if they haven’t been waterproofed with a waterproof sealant.

Attic

If a roof gutter gets blocked by debris, this can cause water to overflow from the gutter, under roof shingles and into the attic walls. Inspect the attic at least once a week especially during heavy rain or snowmelt to make sure this isn’t happening to your home. Another thing to inspect is the presence of rodents. The boxes and unused items stored in the attic make an ideal place for vermin. Constant urine and feces will seep through the floors and cause dampness. It also encourages the development of molds and harmful bacteria.

Roof

Damaged shingles in the roof allow water into your home during rain and snow causing water damage. Water stains on the ceiling indicate your roof needs to be repaired – and soon.

Area surrounding your house

The grounds surrounding your house should lead ground water away from your home, not towards your home. If rain caused erosion to change the slope, perhaps it is time to order a new truckload and restructure it back to a safe 2% or more incline.

Trees and various plants absorb groundwater. So why not plant a few or more around, not only are you protecting your home against water damage, but you’re helping the environment as well.

Statistics show that one out of three people will experience water damage. Prevent water damage in your own home by being observant and regularly maintaining each and every part of your home.
