Water damage can be the results of a natural disaster, faulty plumbing or general flooding. Water spreads through your home, taking the path of least resistance. It is soaked up by drywall, wood, carpet and other building materials, which causes it to wick upward. This leads to broken adhesive bonds, discoloration, swelling, delamination (flooring separation) and eventually mold if the issue is not addressed.
