Whether your property is residential or commercial, an accident involving water can be disastrous. Water damage can take its toll on any home or business, which is why you need to turn to the professionals at All Inclusive Commercial Building Solutions (AICBS) when something happens. At AICBS, we help those throughout Southeast Michigan get water damage extraction, mitigation, and repair services they can count on.

Understanding Water Damage

Water damage refers to any physical damage that a property sustains because of direct contact with water. This can be caused by a natural disaster, including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or extreme bouts of rain; other times, an incident within the property itself is the culprit, such as:

A crack or leak in your piping
Burst pipes caused by freezing temperatures
Flooded sump pumps or water heaters
Roof damage that allows rainwater inside

However, water damage can occur from many other, not-as-obvious sources. For example, something as simple as a leaky faucet can cause water damage in the cabinet underneath, which might go unnoticed until odors form. Whatever the cause, water damage can have many different impacts on your property, some of which are easier to notice than others. Some signs to look out for are:

Water Stains

If you notice yellow or brown stains on your walls or ceiling, there’s likely water escaping behind the scenes. Not only is this discoloration unsightly, but if left unaddressed, it could cause structural problems.

Bubbles or Peeling in Your Walls

This is another sure sign of water damage. As water seeps into these surfaces, it will wear on your paint, creating visible bubbles or bulges. The longer it is left unattended, the more moisture will build up.

Sagging in the Ceiling

Water takes the path of least resistance, which may ultimately lead to it pooling up in your ceilings. When this happens, the affected area may begin to bow or sag. If this water is left to build up, it could cause the ceiling to collapse, creating a costly mess and even leading to injuries.

Unpleasant Odors

While water on its own may not have an unpleasant aroma, many of the components of a building are not designed to handle extended exposure to water. The result may be a musty smell that will be noticed by you and your visitors.

Mold and Mildew

One of the aspects of water damage you might not even realize is happening is the buildup of mold and mildew. Moisture creates a breeding ground for these organisms. If it’s not taken care of quickly, it could lead to a hazardous environment.
