Causes of Water Damage and Mold Growth

When it comes to water damage, it is most often unexpected. No one expects a pipe to burst or even damage from sewer backup. The trouble is that water damage can become a real problem if it is too severe and it can cause more than one issue including mold growth.



Water damage may occur if there is a flood or even a leak somewhere in the house. These leaks can happen at virtually any time, though the most common occurrences include the bathroom, roof leaks and pinhole leaks. Bathroom water damage can be as slight as excessive humidity that causes mold to grow, to sewer damage resulting in toilet overflow, causing a massive flood that will stream out from the bathroom and to the rest of your house. There have been reports of homeowners who were asleep when the sewer damage occurred and they didn’t notice the backup until morning at which time the majority of their house was flooded by contaminated sewage water and materials.
