Identifying Water Damage and Leaks

Water damage is a common problem that can affect any home. It’s important to be able to identify water damage so that you can take steps to fix it and prevent further damage.

There are several signs that may indicate water damage, including:

  • Stains or discolouration on the ceiling or walls
  • Bubbling or peeling paint
  • Cracks in the ceiling or walls
  • Musty or mouldy smell
  • Increased humidity levels
  • Water stains on the floor

Do cracks in ceiling mean water damage?

Not always. Cracks in the ceiling can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Structural movement
  • Improper installation
  • Age
  • Temperature changes
  • Water damage

If you’re concerned about a crack in your ceiling, it’s important to have it inspected by a professional to determine the cause and recommend the best course of action.
