The minor leak could quickly become a significant issue in your home. The majority of leaks require attention from a professional to identify where they’re emanating! Mold and mildew can develop if they worsen, causing structural damage and excessive energy bills. You can contact Ottawa Plumbing Service at (613) 317-1682 or info@ottawaplumbingservice.com if you have any of these problems in your home.
When to call Ottawa Plumbing Service
Mildew: Any sign of mildew or mold is not a good indication. If moisture levels are allowed to build up, it can grow. It could pose hazardous to your health and your home as it causes asthma-related symptoms to get worse and causes other breathing-related diseases to appear. If you spot areas of mildew or mold on the ceiling, walls, or elsewhere in your house, it’s likely to leak.
Wall Damage: Water will likely leak through the wall if you observe peeling, warped paint, or wallpaper. Leaks can occur almost everywhere in your home, not just in the walls.
A Stain Caused by Water: If your roof leaks, it can result in dark or discolored spots in your ceilings. A leaking pipe leaves dark brown or copper-colored stains. Sometimes, the color of the paint may also aid in determining the source of the leak.
Musty Odors: If you have mold within your house, you might detect it before seeing it. Be aware of any unpleasant smells. If something smells musty, it indicates moisture that’s excessive in some areas. If you suspect something that is not fresh, contact an emergency plumber.
There Are Warped Walls and Doors: The damage caused by water can damage the wood of your home. Check your walls for curving wood planks, uneven surfaces, or slight discoloration. The water damage caused by leaks can cause doors and windows to crack or become warped.
Moisture excess: Do your walls appear as if they’re sweating? A water buildup behind the wall typically causes this.
Cracked foundation: Leaks in your home could result in soil erosion leading the house to a lower level. Be aware that leaks can occur underground too! If you notice cracks in the garage floor, it could signify the water line leak.
