Water damage in buildings often starts small but can quickly escalate into costly repairs if left undetected. As BC's leading leak detection experts, we've compiled the top 10 early warning signs that every property owner and manager should know.
Yellow, brown, or dark stains on walls and ceilings are often the first visible signs of water intrusion. These stains typically appear where water has been present for an extended period.
A persistent musty smell, especially in basements, bathrooms, or poorly ventilated areas, often indicates hidden moisture and potential mold growth.
When moisture gets behind paint, it causes the paint to lose adhesion, resulting in peeling, bubbling, or blistering surfaces.
Wood floors that warp, buckle, or feel spongy underfoot indicate moisture infiltration from below or above.
Unexplained increases in water bills may indicate hidden leaks within your building's plumbing system.
While these signs can help you identify potential issues, professional leak detection services use advanced technology to locate problems before they become visible. Our thermal imaging and moisture detection equipment can identify issues in their earliest stages.
If you notice any of these warning signs in your building, don't wait. Early detection and repair can save thousands in damage costs.
