Water damage to your home, business or property can occur from many different sources: a leaky faucet, heavy rains or ruptured plumbing to name a few. If the water damage is cleaned quickly, damage can be minimal and reduce the headache and cost of consequence if left alone. If addressed quickly, water damage can be treated on most surfaces and materials. Depending on the severity of the water damage, some items may be completely non-salvageable; other things may just be permanently damaged. The difference between being able to recover something after destructive water damage could be a matter of a couple hours.

Areas in Your Home Most Susceptible to Water Damage

Kitchen Water Damage

Taps and faucets, dishwashers, refrigerators, and other kitchen appliances make the kitchen one of the areas of your home most at risk for water damage. Leaks in kitchen plumbing or appliances can inundate your kitchen with water, leading to extensive water damage.

Laundry Water Damage

Like the kitchen, the laundry room is another area of your home where appliances can potentially cause flooding and water damage. If your washing machine overflows or suffers a busted pipe, the water damage can become quite extensive.

Bathroom Water Damage

Bathrooms are another hot-spot for potential water damage. Porous surfaces, overflowing toilets, leaky plumbing and faucets and overflowing or poorly sealed bathtubs can all lead to water damage. Additionally, poor ventilation in the bathroom can lead to mold growth on porous surfaces, so it is advised you make sure that your bathroom is properly ventilated.
