Not all water damage starts with a major flood. Sometimes, the biggest issues start with the smallest leaks — a slow drip behind a wall, a leaking A/C line, or a tiny roof crack. Over time, these hidden problems can lead to serious damage that you might not notice until it’s too late.
Common Sources of Hidden Water Damage
- A/C condensation or clogged drain lines – Common in summer and can leak unnoticed.
- Leaky pipes or fixtures – Small drips under sinks or inside walls.
- Roof leaks – Even minor roof damage can allow water to creep in during summer storms.
- Appliance issues – Refrigerator water lines or washing machine hoses are often to blame.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Discolored patches on ceilings or walls.
- Musty odors that hint at mold behind the surface.
- Warped or buckled flooring.
- Peeling paint or bubbling drywall.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
What starts as a minor water issue can quickly lead to mold growth, rotting wood, and structural problems. By the time you see visible signs, the damage is often much deeper.
