Concealed Water Can Cause Serious Damage To Your Shower

Concealed water damage can be exceptionally startling and a burden for many. 

Whenever left untreated, a spill in your restroom can cause serious deterioration to paint, floors and walls. Regardless of how well and how regularly you clean your restroom, mold or buildup can indicate that you have a concealed water spill. 

It's typical for a little mildew to accumulate any place water gathers, like the side of a shower, however, mold and mildew on other walls in your household can be reason for alarm. This is an unmistakable sign that water is spilling and finding its way to those areas.

Faulty piping can result in small cracks that cause leaks. The longer that these leaks provide unwanted moisture to your home, the more time mold will have to develop and generate damage. When drywall is exposed to dampness, it becomes delicate and starts to bubble, distorting and breaking into pieces. In the event that the leak reaches the ceiling, it causes it to cave in and potentially leak a portion of the water accumulated. If this occurs, an expert must come in and replace the drywall and then paint over the repair.
