INTRODUCTION
Water leaks can occur for many reasons, and you
should repair them immediately to prevent major
foundation damage. The issue is that most leaks
are hidden and go unnoticed until it is too late.
Whether the hidden water is coming from below the
sink or the water heater, the impact of
discovering hidden water leakage too late can
include wood rot, mold growth, and flooring
damage. By knowing where it is most likely to
occur, you can be more cautious about it and take
steps to prevent further damage.

YOUR HOME HIDDEN WATER DAMAGE PLACES

• The following from our Tacoma water damage
  restoration experts share a list of areas where
  hidden water damage might occur
• Under the Kitchen Sink
• Behind the Washer
• Walls
• Roof
• Floors

UNDER THE KITCHEN SINK
While leaks below the sink might be easy to spot,
the truth is that these drips often go unnoticed
until a musty odor develops. The odor is a result
of mold or mildew formation, and black mold can
grow in an area where water pools for long
periods of time. This makes it more difficult to
detect hidden water damage.
5
BEHIND THE WASHER
When you suspect a leakage in your home, look
behind your washer. The hoses that connect to the
water pipes in the wall behind the washer become
weak, causing leaks. This might happen during
installation or when rubber washers inside of
connectors break. Clear signs of a gradual leak
include a musty or moldy odor and water
accumulating from around the back of the washing
machine.
6
ROOF
When it comes to roofing, look for signs of
curling, cracking, or missing shingles. After the
wind or rain, check your roof for damage. You
might also have leaks or flaking shingleswhich
may increase the risk of property water damage
down the road. If you live in a colder region and
have ice dams forming on your rooftop, keep an
eye out for them so that you can deal with them
before they cause leaks once they melt.

WALLS
Water leaking on the walls is one of the easiest
ways to identify a problem. Staining and
discoloration on some of your homes most exposed
areas are often easy to notice. While inspecting
your walls, keep an eye out for staining on
window panes, around the door and around any
pipes that stretch across your ceiling or walls.
A large, unusual stain on your walls could signal
serious damage, including a burst pipe or drain.
Check for cracks in the wall and if water has
seeped into the drywall, it may swell and become
soft to touch.

FLOORS
Water damage can occur to floorboards in a
variety of ways, including by overflowing
bathtubs or sinks, flooding from appliances and
leaks from broken pipes. If you notice warping or
creaking in your floors, you will know it is due
to water damage. Also, high humidity and a moldy
odor could also be a reason for water-damaged
carpets and flooring.
