Agoura Hills Homeowners Should Check For These Water Damage Indicators

If you have a house in Agoura Hills, you want to keep it in good condition. A well-cared-for home is a healthier place to live. Looking after your house also helps it retain its value, so it is easier to sell if you want to move.

Water damage in Agoura Hills is a problem for homeowners. Water damage is not always as apparent as a flooded basement or a massive puddle in the utility room. Sometimes the signs of water damage are more subtle.

Why is it important to pay attention to water damage signs?

Many people overlook the subtle signs of water damage. SERVPRO wants homeowners to know how important it is to deal with problems as soon as you spot them. If you do not, you run the risk of the problem getting bigger and causing structural damage to your house.

What signs should I look out for?

Here are some signs that you might have water damage at home:

• Water leaking from or pooling around faucets, toilets, or water tanks
• Damp or dark patches on the ceiling
• Visible mold growth or a moldy smell
• Hearing a drip or the sound of water running
• A sudden increase in your utility bills

If you see any of those signs, it is time to call in professional help. 

How can SERVPRO detect if I have a water damage problem?

SERVPRO teams are equipped with a range of equipment to help detect water damage, including:

• Moisture sensors to examine carpets and padding
• Thermal imaging equipment that senses heat on the surface of walls and ceilings and can, therefore, spot colder damp patches
• Moisture meters that measure the amount of water in various materials such as drywall or wood
• Thermo-hygrometers to measure the temperature and relative humidity levels of the air

Our technicians use this equipment to detect moisture in your home and determine whether there is a problem. If there is a water damage issue, our teams have access to vacs, pumps, air movers, and dryers to handle the situation.

If you are concerned about water damage in your home, do not delay. Call SERVPRO of Agoura / Calabasas / Hidden Hills at (818) 991-6292.
