Common Causes of Water Damage

Many factors could cause the pipes in your building to become damaged or even burst. In Chicago, freezing temperatures or a change in water pressure are typical triggers. When you notice water stains on your building’s walls, floors, ceilings,  or if you notice a musty smell in the area, find the root cause before further damage is done. If your maintenance team can’t quickly identify the source, call the water damage restoration experts GC PRO. It can be difficult to identify the issue; water damage professionals utilize specialized water leak detection tools and equipment to narrow the search.

Your building’s sprinkler system can a) protect you from fire yet b) lead to leaks and water damage. Look out for wet walls and carpets, mold or a musty smell. Inspect your system often for potential leaks to help prevent damage. 

Roof damage can be caused by extreme weather like heavy winds, rain or snowfall. Improper roof maintenance, missing shingles, or even falling branches can cause structural damage. Leaking water may cause secondary damages to the ceiling such as mold damage.
