Water damages can cause chaos at home. Many reasons might cause these damages. From old plumbing to leaky appliances, anything can cause water damage at home. Another common cause is the rainy weather.

3 Causes of Water Damage at Home

  1. Toilet Runs of Leakage: One of the most common causes of water damage at home is constantly running toilet water. It is annoying and disrupting when toilets spring a leakage. A bad leakage can cause damage to your floors and walls. You should contact a professional to find and understand what is causing the leakage and ways to stop it.
  1. AC Soaks Ceiling: The second most common cause of water damage at home is caused by air conditioners. An AC pulls humidity from the air and condenses moisture in the overflow pan, and water travels out through the condensate line. However, if the pan breaks or the condensate line is damaged, the water starts clogging. This clogging leads to wet and soaked ceilings.
  1. Drains Quit Draining: We encounter clogged drains almost every day at our homes. There are many reasons why drains stop working. The kitchen sink is most prone to get clogged. A choked sink can create a big problem, but an even bigger problem is created in the floor drain gets clogged. A choked floor drain fills the basement with water, causing a lot of inconveniences.
