The bathroom is one of the areas in the house most susceptible to water damage. It's also the one area where pipe leaks are very difficult to detect because all of the pipes are hidden behind the walls or beneath the grounds. The toilet bowl, the sink, the bath tub, the shower and the plumbing under the floors -- all these can create leaks or other problems that can cause water damage disasters to occur. Besides, the constantly wet conditions and the humid environment is an ideal breeding ground for mold.
Look under the sink and make sure that water pipes are secure. Repair leaky faucets quickly. Check the moisture levels in the walls and the floors. Also, check the moisture levels of rooms on the other side of the bathroom. If these have water stains, on the walls, then your bathroom pipes have sprung a leak. Look to see if your sink and bath tub drain fast. If they are slow to drain, there are likely blockages that can cause pipe bursts later. Don't clog your toilet, never flush too much toilet paper down it -- these can clog the toilet.
Water damage in the bathroom is usually accompanied by heavy growth of mold because of the closed conditions of the room, and the warm and moist air that frequently circulates inside. The damage can extend to water damaged bathroom cabinets, countertops, mold infested bath tubs and shower enclosures. All these require the expertise of a professional bathroom flood damage restoration company.
