Warning Signs of Water Damage and How to Address it with a Professional

June 13, 2025

Water damage is one of the most common and costly issues homeowners face. At My Old Kentucky Home Repair, we want to help you understand the early warning signs, potential sources, and what steps to take to protect your home.

Common Causes of Water Damage:

Roof Leaks - Missing shingles or damaged flashing can let water seep into ceilings and walls.

Poorly Draining Gutters - If water isn’t directed away from your home, it can pool around the foundation or leak into the walls.

Plumbing Leaks - Drips under sinks, behind walls, or in crawl spaces may go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred.

Flooding or Standing Water - Storms, sump pump failures, or clogged drains can lead to serious water intrusion.

Poorly Sealed Windows & Doors - Even small gaps can allow moisture to enter, especially during heavy rains.

Our Water Damage Repair Services Include:

Identifying and stopping the source of the leak (roof, plumbing, windows, etc.)

Replacing water-damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation

Removing and replacing rotted wood

Treating and preventing mold and mildew

Restoring the area to its original condition or better

When it comes to water damage, a professional evaluation is your best first step. Our team at My Old Kentucky Home Repair is here to help you protect your home with quality repairs and long-term solutions.
