Help for Pabst Homeowners Dealing With Water Damage | SERVPRO® of Houston County

No one likes to think about needing water damage remediation services. But millions of American families do.
The number of water damage claims filed by American homeowners continues to grow year after year.
They’re growing independently of other types of claims. For example, the number of water damage claims is growing while the number of fire damage claims have been dropping steadily. The result is that, on average, one in 50 American families deal with the aftermath of water damage every year.
So if you do end up needing water damage help in 2021, you won’t be alone.
Do You Know the Signs of Water Damage?
Homeowners don’t always know how to spot early signs of water damage. If your home has water damage that needs remediation by professionals, you’ll likely notice these signs:
You see wet spots on your drywall. Damp spots on your drywall are a sign of water issues. They may be damp to the touch, or it may appear more like a stain on your wall or ceiling. If you notice this issue, then you should call restoration technicians to come and examine your home.
You realize your windows and walls are warped. Window panes and doorframes will start to warp when they’re damaged by water. If you see warping on an exterior door or window, it’s smart to get it evaluated. Compromised doors and windows can let more water into your home.
You can smell an unusual, musty odor. Smell can be among the first signs of mold damage. And that damage only gets worse as time passes. It’s smart to start the remediation process as soon as you can in this case.
