Water damage is one of those silent issues that can sneak up on you. In places like Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Burnaby, where rain is constant, small leaks can quickly turn into major structural problems.
Even if you don’t see visible water stains, moisture behind walls or under floors can cause mold growth, wood rot, and foundation damage. Over time, that can impact both your home’s safety and value.
🔍 Common Causes of Water Damage
Leaky roofs or gutters
Cracked foundation or basement leaks
Poor ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens
Window or door seal failure
Plumbing leaks behind walls
⚠️ Why It’s Dangerous
Trapped moisture doesn’t just smell musty — it feeds mold and weakens your home’s structure. Mold exposure can also trigger allergies or respiratory issues.
🧰 How to Protect Your Home
Inspect roofs and gutters twice a year
Seal windows and doors properly
Use dehumidifiers in damp areas
Schedule professional waterproofing or mold inspection
