Water damage can occur at any time and is hard to determine if you will get one. Water damage can cause stains or physical damages to contents, walls, ceilings and floors. Having an unknown water damage can also cause odors to the inside of the home. When having water damage it is crucial to work quickly because mold can grow from 24 to 48 hours after the damage occurs. Water damage doesn't only affect your home's integrity but it can also affect your health. The following are common issues that can cause a water loss: 

1. Burst pipes
2. Blocked toilets 
3. Clogged gutters 
4. Sewage backup and septic tank 
5. Faulty air conditioner
6. Malfunctioning appliances
7. Weather conditions 

While it is hard to prevent water damage it is helpful to know what can cause water damage and what to look out for. If you ever need a water damage inspection call SERVPRO for 24 hour service.
