Common Causes of Water Damage
- Leaking Roof: Missing shingles, damaged flashing, or clogged gutters can allow water to seep into your attic or ceilings, causing leaks and potential structural damage.
- Burst or Leaking Pipes: Frozen pipes in winter, corroded or old plumbing, or improperly sealed joints can cause leaks or bursts, leading to significant water damage. This damage primarily affects walls, ceilings, and floors.
- Broken Appliances: Dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators with ice makers, and water heaters are all prone to leaks. Even small, slow leaks over time can cause substantial water damage.
- Clogged Drains and Sewer Lines: Blocked drains, especially in kitchens or bathrooms, can cause backups. This leads to water damage and even sewage flooding if the blockage is severe.
- Foundation Cracks: Cracks or gaps in the foundation allow water to seep into the basement or crawlspace. This often causes mold, mildew, or structural issues.
- Faulty Windows and Doors: Gaps around windows and doors, or poor installation, can let rain or snow melt seep inside. This can damage drywall, floors, and insulation.
- Poor Drainage: Improper grading around the foundation or clogged outdoor drains can cause water to pool near the house. This water can eventually seep into the basement or foundation.
- Flooding from Heavy Rain or Storms: Flash floods or sustained heavy rainfall can overwhelm drainage systems. This causes water to enter homes through windows, doors, or even the foundation.
- Ice Dams: In winter, melting snow on the roof can refreeze at the eaves. This blocks proper drainage and forces water under shingles, leading to leaks.
- Humidity and Condensation: Excess moisture in poorly ventilated areas like bathrooms, kitchens, or basements can lead to mold, mildew, and water stains over time.
