What To Do If You Suspect Mold In Your Pompano Beach Home

2/4/2020 (Permalink)

There are a lot of ways that water can damage your home. If you live in Pompano Beach, you should be aware of water damage and mold. Sometimes it's as obvious as a visible pipe leaking water on to your kitchen floor. More often than not however, the source of water damage is hidden and so are the effects.

Here are some helpful tips to spot water damage:
Stains on the wall or ceiling

Discoloration in drywall is a sign that there is previous or ongoing water damage. The stains may be yellow, brown, or faint outlines.

A musky smell

A musky smell may indicate the presence of mold due to water damage. Mold-especially in the humidity of South Florida- does not take long to grow in the right conditions

Warping in the floor or baseboard

When certain materials like wood soak up water, they buckle and warp. If there is visible warping or buckling of floors, there may be water underneath.

Excessive utility bills

If there are no other visible signs of water damage but you are still suspicious, check your water bill! Excessive charges on your water bill may indicate a damaged pipe that could be releasing water into your home.
