Not all water damage comes from floods or burst pipes.
Some of the worst damage happens slowly, quietly, and completely out of sight. Hidden leaks inside walls can go unnoticed for months — sometimes years — while they weaken your home from the inside.
At Aftermath Contracting, many major restoration projects begin with a small leak no one realized was there.
Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak
Because leaks are hidden, the warning signs are subtle:
Unexplained musty smells
Small stains on walls or ceilings
Peeling paint or bubbling drywall
Warped flooring
Sudden increases in your water bill
Soft spots in walls
Mold appearing in corners
These symptoms usually appear after damage has already started.
What Hidden Leaks Can Cause
Unchecked moisture leads to:
Mold growth
Rotting wood framing
Damaged insulation
Electrical hazards
Structural weakening
Expensive restoration work
Water spreads far beyond where it starts.
