Water leaks can be caused by broken pipes, faulty appliances, and even weather events. Unwanted water can cause costly repairs and even structure damage to your property if not addressed quickly. But what does water damage look like? Some tell tale signs that you may have water damage in your home are

- Stained or discolored walls

- Peeling of paint

- Walls that feel soft or look swollen

- Smell of musky odor in the room 

- Sight of mold on walls or   baseboards

If you see any of these signs in your home, there is a high chance there is water damage. SERVPRO of Morris/Ottawa uses advanced equipment such as thermal imaging cameras to locate and quickly remediate the water issue.
