Top Most Frequent Causes

Flat Roofs

Generally speaking, this type of roof should be equally great as a sloped one, however, when things go downhill, it can make a bunch of issues that other roofs don’t. Now, in order to work normally, a flat roof must contain a small gradient to it.

This means that even though their name says flat, they actually aren’t. It is a bit convex which allows it to slowly cause water to run away and goes directly into the gutters. Another problem that may occur is the cold weather.

Namely, it may develop ice dams. What happens then? The ice makes a dam and in this case, you get standing water on the roof which can lead to water damage, as well as mold to appear on the ceiling and the roof.

Natural Disasters

Dangerous natural disasters such as hurricanes and thunderstorms, may not occur every single day, but once they do, they can cause water damage on your property. Water damages wizards at https://dryhouserestoration.com/services/water-damage-restoration/ warn people that powerful winds could seriously destroy your roof, by sending a huge amount of rainwater directly to your company or house. Occasionally, this type of weather can cause flash flooding too.

Appliances That Do Not Work Anymore

Most households are filled with them, and as time goes by they get older and not as good as they used to be. Their hoses usually start deteriorating. Refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters are all prone to rusting.

Therefore, it would be recommendable if you start paying more attention to them, as soon as you notice that something is going on. You have to ensure that all of them as in solid working order. Usually, water tanks and washing machines are the appliances that cause water damage.
