Signs You Need a Water Damage Pro in Gages Lake
- A musty smell that will not go away — damp drywall or carpet in Gages Lake homes often hides mold long before it is visible.
- Floors that warp or paint that bubbles — both mean wood or drywall has been absorbing water, usually from a leak nearby.
- Water stains on ceilings or walls — a stain usually means water has been travelling inside the wall for a while.
- A water bill that climbs for no reason — a hidden leak can run hundreds of gallons a day with nothing to see on the surface.
