• Malfunctioning systems (air conditioning, sprinklers)

Many of these problems can stem from issues with the various components that deliver daily comfort.

Whatever the extent of your damage is, we are prepared to help you return it to the palace you loved.

When to Call for Water Damage Restoration

A lot of damage happens out of sight, but there are some signs to look for, such as waterlogged areas like your ceiling or basement. If you experience these circumstances, it is time to call on Leak Pros of Alabama:

• Severe Weather/Heavy Rain: Birmingham is no stranger to powerful storms with plenty of rain following. After a storm, there can be floodwater lingering around, potentially seeping into a vulnerable area of your property and causing serious damage to your home.
• Plumbing Problems: Your plumbing system is complex. Problem areas like blocked drains or a burst pipe can cause water to seep into your space—and, at worst, even sewage.
• Failing Appliances: From day-to-day use, appliances like fridges or washers can run problematic malfunctions. In certain cases, this can lead to leaking water that affects areas around them such as kitchen flooring.
• Running Water: Accidents happen from time to time. For example, you might forget to turn the sink off before bed. This, of course, can flood a bathroom and cause water damage.

While the extent of the water damage may vary depending on the circumstance, Leak Pros of Alabama is prepared to help you. Our team provides a full assessment of the damage and makes strides to restore and reconstruct your home or business.

Structural Damage Warning Signs

Water damage can wreak havoc on the structure of your home or business. In some cases, the damage may not be obvious at first glance but understanding the signs can help you prevent damage from worsening. If you are concerned about potential water damage, pay close attention to areas such as:

• Walls: The best way to check for water damage is by pressing your hand against your wall to see if it sinks, which would indicate softened drywall. Other signs could be light brown water rings and discolored streaks that have formed on the surface.
• Floors: When made of certain materials such as hardwood, water can harshly affect the stability of flooring. Contact with water can lead to the flooring becoming discolored, or beginning to shift such as becoming buckled, cupped, and crowned.
• Roofing: Your roof is a sturdy barrier for your home, so any changes to its structure should ring alarm bells. Check the state of your roofing for any damage, or components and areas that have started looking lopsided or saggy.

Other signs of water damage include:

• Mold and mildew typically come from areas with excessive moisture
• Bad odors are usually a sign of mold growth, which emits a musty smell
• An increased water bill can be linked to issues with running water or malfunctioning plumbing components
