Do you have any water damage to your walls or ceiling? Contact SERVPRO of Northeast Greenville County.

Many homeowners don’t know where to start if they notice water leaks or early signs of water damage. Are you one of them?

If you’re living in Greer and the surrounding communities, there is help available for you locally.

You may be wondering when a leak becomes something that needs more attention than you can give it. You may have questions about when you need professional services.

Sometimes leaks that are caught early can be handled by a homeowner. A mop and bucket or a few old towels might be enough.

But in other cases, you may need professional help to set your home back to its original state and prevent further damage to your property.

Know the Signs of Water Damage

Here are some signs you might see when you’re dealing with water damage. If you notice them, it’s a good idea to call a professional to help restore your home.

Your windows or walls are damaged and stained. Like your floors, your window panes and walls can start to warp if the water damage is severe enough. That means it’s vital if you notice these signs to get remediation help.

Your floorboards or furniture are warping. Wet wood will start to warp within just a few days. If that happens in your home, it’s best to start seeking help from professionals who can help you restore your home.

Your home smells musty. Does your home have a musty odor? That can be among the first signs of mold damage, meaning if you notice that scent, it’s time to call in a professional to help you deal with remediation issues.
