if it looks like water damage, smells like water damage, it's probably water damage!
DO NOT ignore even the smallest of water leaks from shower stalls, bath enclosures and toilets. Over the years the small amounts of water can accumulate and will result in severe structural water damage that can costs tens of thousands of dollars to mitigate.
Water can easily enter the substrate in older construction but cannot dry out as fast as it it enters, therefore framing, drywall and insulation will absorb it and mold will start to form. In here we will show the extensive damage caused by a once minor leak but accumulated over time. The repair cost for this was in the thousands of dollars.
Always keep an eye peeled for sings of ANY water damage in your bathroom and if you see it, do not ignore it. Swollen baseboard, discoloration of finishing materials such as lino or paint and even musty smell are all warning signs. Contact your professional home service provider if you have questions or concerns.
