Symptoms of Water Damage
Water damage have a number of symptoms, and some are more obvious than others. Water damage is often much more than just a pool of water on the ground and may require a more thorough evaluation.
Bugs and pests: Bugs and pests love to live in dark, damp places. If your basement has moisture issues, it can create the perfect environment for bugs to thrive. If you notice an increase in unwanted visitors, you could have basement water damage.
Mold: Mold can grow in as little as 24 hours with the right conditions. If your basement has moisture and humidity problems, you can expect to see mold growth in areas of your basement.
Musty odors: The moisture and mold mixture can create unpleasant, musty odors that fill your basement. Unfortunately, these musty odors can also make their way into the main living areas of your home.
Wood rot: If moisture is left untreated in your basement, it can cause wood in beams and floor joists to rot and become weak, causing structural issues in your home.
