Water damage is the element for which homeowners are constantly filing claims for. It is the most common form of damage to properties that are filed. Damage to your drywall is a severe issue that can only get worse if no action is taken. Therefore, for that reason, it is imperative that you spot any signs of drywall damage as soon as possible. If you do happen to notice any of these indications, you should quickly file an insurance claim for water damage with a Miami Public adjuster at Churchill.

Here are some steps to find water damage in your drywall

Please, do not let any of these signs progress even further. Allowing an issue such as drywall water damage to escalate could cost you your chances at successfully filing a claim. The longer you take, the more power your insurance company will have over you, stating that you were negligent in not managing the issue. Watch out for:

1. Has the paint begun to peel?

The paint on your wall will begin to peel and bubble up because it can no longer stick on the surface as a result of the swelling and softness of the drywall. If the paint is peeled off, that means that timing is of an essence; water has completely soaked through.

2. Are there any stains?

The stains that will manifest themselves will appear like puddled water or look like simple water stains. Stains will start forming once the drywall has absorbed the water.

3. Is the ceiling sagging or warping?

Eventually, the drywall will cave in due to the material becoming soft. It can get as bad as the drywall falling. This becomes a hazard for anyone who is inside the home and is especially hazardous if your roof is holding an item like a fan or light.

4. Has mold developed?

Mold will start to develop if water damage is an ongoing issue. If you see mold growth, it is a serious trouble that needs sudden treatment. It is one that is often hard to get rid of and possess and health threat to anyone within the home. For that reason, our best Miami Public adjusters recommend that you contact a professional for remediation.

5. Have you noticed any musty smells?

This might want to be investigated thoroughly; determine the source of where that smell is coming from. Musty smells can suggest that water damage is present.
