Stains on walls and ceilings seem to appear out of nowhere.  One day you notice a discolored area on your walls or ceiling.  Some of the most common causes are roof leaks, HVAC lines or ducts, and plumbing fixtures or lines. 

Do you smell that musty odor?  Water hidden in walls or ceilings can cause mold.  That unpleasant odor is a good sign that water is present.  The source needs to identified and repaired before it becomes a huge problem.

Have you noticed paint peeling in your home?  Drywall and wood trim can absorb water causing them to expand.  As the water evaporates from the materials, they contract.  The paint may blister or peel, indicating water is where it does not belong.

Mold growing in cabinets or hidden in hard to see places is evidence water is present. 

Water can travel under flooring causing wood to warp or buckle. One of the most common causes is a small leak in a kitchen appliance.  The leak slowly reveals itself over time.  When you notice damage to your wood floor, contact SERVPRO quickly.
