Understanding Water Damage: Causes and Common Hotspots
Water damage can stem from a wide range of issues, both sudden and gradual. Some of the most frequent causes we encounter include:
- Plumbing leaks: From dripping faucets to hidden pipe bursts.
- Broken water heaters: Unleashing large volumes of water quickly.
- Severe weather: Heavy rains leading to roof leaks or foundation seepage.
- Appliance malfunctions: Leaky washing machines, dishwashers, or refrigerators.
- Burst or broken pipes and hoses: Especially vulnerable in older homes.
- Clogged toilets or drains: Causing overflows and extensive water spread.
- Moisture behind walls: Often a sign of a hidden leak, leading to mold.
- Leaking roofs or clogged gutters: Allowing water to penetrate your home’s exterior.
- HVAC condensation issues: Leading to pooling water and potential damage.
- Sump pump problems: Critical for basement protection, but prone to failure.
- Structural damage or foundation cracks: Allowing groundwater intrusion.
- Fish tank and aquarium leaks: A less common but equally damaging source.
While water can appear anywhere, ceilings, kitchens, walls, and basements are often the first to show signs of damage due to the concentration of plumbing and their susceptibility to leaks and flooding. If you notice any signs of water in these areas, consult a professional immediately.
Why Quick Mitigation is Essential for Water Restoration
When your property experiences water damage, time is critically important. Water and harmful bacteria can begin to cause significant damage, including mold growth, within just a few hours. This is why fast water mitigation is the cornerstone of successful water restoration.
At On Call Restoration, we excel at rapid response. Our certified technicians are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, arriving onsite quickly with the knowledge, confidence, and proven water cleanup techniques to minimize damage.

What You SHOULD Do:
- Immediately call On Call Restoration for professional help. Water and bacteria-growth damages can begin within hours.
- Remove as much water as possible by mopping and blotting affected areas.
- Remove wet area rugs or any other floor coverings that are not permanently attached.
- Move photos, paintings, and other art objects to a safe, dry location to protect them.
What You Should NOT Do:
- Never enter a room with standing water until electricity has been turned off! This is a serious electrocution hazard.
- Never use a regular household vacuum to remove water; it’s not designed for this and can cause electric shock.
- Never lift tacked-down carpet without professional help. Attempting this incorrectly can cause further damage to the carpet and subfloor.
- Never use electrical appliances while on wet carpet or flooring.
- Do not disturb visible mold. Disturbing mold can release spores, spreading the problem and posing health risks.
