Water damage can occur without detection. This is common in strong storms where the roof may have been damaged enough to cause an undetectable leak. It’s important to know the subtle signs of water damage, so you can identify them and fix the issue before the damage becomes worse. Some of the most common signs of hidden water damage include:
Visible mold
Peeling paint or wallpaper
Moisture and condensation
An increase in insect or pest activity
Musty or moldy odors
Damp or wet carpets and rugs
