How to Spot Hidden Water Damage Before It Becomes a Problem

Not all water damage announces itself with soaked carpets or visible leaks. In many cases, it hides behind walls, under floors, or above ceilings—slowly causing structural damage, encouraging mold growth, and racking up costly repairs over time. Knowing how to identify the subtle signs of hidden water damage early can save homeowners thousands of dollars and a whole lot of stress.

Here are the most common warning signs to watch for—and why acting early matters.

1. Musty or Unexplained OdorsA persistent, damp smell is often the first clue that something’s wrong. These odors are usually strongest in low-ventilation areas like basements, crawl spaces, or behind cabinets. Even if you don’t see visible damage, that smell could be coming from mold growing where moisture has collected out of sight.

2. Discoloration on Walls or CeilingsStains in yellow, brown, or copper tones often appear when water seeps through drywall or plaster. Even small spots can point to larger issues behind the surface, such as a leaking pipe or roof.

3. Bubbling Paint or Warped SurfacesMoisture trapped in walls may cause paint or wallpaper to peel, bubble, or crack. Flooring may also begin to warp or buckle, especially in wood or laminate surfaces, indicating water is pushing up from below.

4. Increased Humidity or Dampness IndoorsIf your home feels damp even when the weather is dry, you might have hidden water intrusion. Condensation on windows, excessive humidity, or damp surfaces may all be signs of water where it doesn’t belong.

5. Mold in Unexpected PlacesMold needs moisture to grow. If you’re noticing mold around baseboards, behind furniture, or on ceilings, it’s likely there’s a hidden moisture source feeding it. Mold can also cause health symptoms such as allergy flare-ups or respiratory issues in sensitive individuals.

6. Unexplained Spikes in Your Water BillAn increase in your water bill that doesn’t match your household usage can signal a slow leak behind the walls or beneath the slab. These types of leaks often go unnoticed until damage is extensive.

Water damage isn’t always obvious—but that doesn’t mean it’s harmless. Catching it early is the key to avoiding larger restoration costs and long-term damage to your property. By staying alert to these subtle signs and performing routine inspections, homeowners can protect both their investment and their peace of mind.

Safeguarding Your Southern California Home in 2025: A Family’s Guide to Fire Preparedness

3/27/2025 (Permalink)

family is holding each other as they watch their house burn in a fire Family unity reminds us why preparedness matters. At SERVPRO, we rebuild lives and homes—turning loss into hope.
Southern California’s breathtaking landscapes continue to captivate us, yet the region’s dry climate and shifting vegetation—amplified by evolving climate patterns—mean wildfire risks remain a harsh reality. With wildfires becoming increasingly frequent and intense, protecting your home and family is more critical than ever.

Understanding the Evolving Threat

Recent studies and local reports show that climate change is intensifying wildfire behavior in Southern California. The notorious Santa Ana winds, now sometimes coupled with prolonged high-temperature periods, create conditions where fires can spread faster than ever. For middle-aged homeowners who’ve invested in their family’s future, taking proactive steps is not just about preserving property—it’s about safeguarding your family’s well-being.

Practical Steps to Shield Your Home from Fire

    Defensible Space Creation:
    Establish a defensible perimeter around your home by clearing flammable vegetation and debris. Updated landscaping practices—such as regular maintenance and the strategic removal of high-risk brush—can greatly reduce the risk of wildfire encroachment.

    Fire-Resistant Landscaping:
    Choose fire-resistant plants and materials for your yard. New guidelines recommend a mix of native, drought-tolerant species that serve as natural firebreaks while enhancing your landscape’s beauty.

    Home Exterior Enhancements:
    Invest in fire-resistant construction materials for roofing, siding, and windows. Modern sealants and advanced ember-resistant designs can minimize the risk of ember intrusion, a critical factor in today’s fire-prone climate.

    Gutter and Roof Maintenance:
    Keep gutters clear and roofs free of debris. Recent recommendations emphasize more frequent inspections, especially during the dry season, to reduce potential ignition sources.

    Accessible Entryways:
    Ensure that driveways, garages, and access roads remain unobstructed for emergency vehicles. Clear pathways can be the difference between rapid intervention and extended damage.

    Emergency Preparedness:
    Develop and rehearse a comprehensive evacuation plan with your family. Updated checklists now advise storing essential documents in waterproof containers and maintaining an emergency kit with updated supplies tailored to the current climate challenges.

    Strategic Fire-Resistant Zones:
    Designate areas around your property using fire-resistant materials and proper landscaping techniques. These zones act as a critical buffer, reducing the chance of fire reaching your home.

Preventing Common Property Disasters: Tips for Property Managers During Spring

3/13/2025 (Permalink)

home with clogged gutters from debris. Water is not draining properly Protect your property with Spring season maintenance

Spring's arrival signals a welcome change, but for property managers, it also means a new set of challenges. Melting snow, increased rainfall, and fluctuating temperatures can lead to a host of property disasters if preventative measures aren't taken. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you protect your investments and ensure a smooth spring season:

1. Water Damage: The Prime Culprit

  • Roof Inspection:
    • Thoroughly inspect roofs for damaged shingles, leaks, and debris buildup. Winter storms can cause significant damage that becomes apparent during the spring thaw.
    • Check for ice dam damage, which can lead to water seepage into attics and walls.
    • Clean gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage. Clogged gutters can lead to overflowing water and foundation damage.
  • Foundation Checks:
    • Examine foundations for cracks or signs of water intrusion. Spring rains can exacerbate existing cracks, leading to structural issues.
    • Ensure proper grading around the property to direct water away from the foundation.
    • Check basement and crawlspace for dampness or standing water. Install sump pumps if needed.
  • Plumbing System:
    • Inspect pipes for leaks and damage caused by freezing temperatures.
    • Test sump pumps and drainage systems to ensure they are functioning correctly.
    • Check for signs of backflow in sewer lines.

2. Landscaping Hazards:

  • Tree and Limb Inspection:
    • Assess trees for weakened branches or signs of disease. Spring storms can cause damaged limbs to fall, posing a safety hazard.
    • Trim overgrown trees and shrubs to prevent them from interfering with power lines or causing damage to property.
  • Ground Erosion:
    • Monitor for soil erosion around the property, especially on slopes.
    • Implement erosion control measures, such as retaining walls or proper landscaping.
    • check for proper drainage away from walkways and driveways.
  • Pest Control:
    • With the warmer weather, pests like termites, ants, and mosquitoes become more active. Schedule pest control inspections and treatments as needed.
    • Eliminate standing water to prevent mosquito breeding.

3. HVAC and Electrical Systems:

  • HVAC System Tune-Up:
    • Schedule a spring tune-up for HVAC systems to ensure they are ready for warmer temperatures.
    • Check for any damage caused by winter storms.
  • Electrical System Inspection:
    • Inspect electrical panels and wiring for signs of damage or corrosion.
    • Check outdoor outlets and lighting fixtures for weather damage.

4. Tenant Communication and Preparedness:

  • Inform Tenants:
    • Communicate with tenants about potential spring hazards and maintenance schedules.
    • Provide tenants with instructions on how to report leaks or other property issues.
  • Emergency Preparedness:
    • Review emergency procedures with tenants, including evacuation plans and contact information.
    • Ensure that smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning correctly.

Key Takeaways for Property Managers:

  • Proactive Inspections: Conduct thorough inspections of all property systems to identify potential issues early.
  • Regular Maintenance: Implement a regular maintenance schedule to prevent costly repairs.
  • Documentation: Keep detailed records of all inspections, maintenance, and repairs.
  • Professional Help: Don't hesitate to seek professional assistance from contractors and specialists when needed.

By taking these preventative measures, property managers can minimize the risk of spring property disasters and ensure a safe and enjoyable season for tenants.

Winter Maintenance Checklist for Your Property

2/1/2025 (Permalink)

House in the snow Home is where the warmth is! Stay cozy and safe this winter by prepping your property with our essential maintenance tips.

Winter is a time for cozy evenings, warm drinks, and the holiday spirit—but it’s also a season that can take a toll on your property if it’s not properly prepared. At SERVPRO®, we understand how important it is to keep your home or business safe, comfortable, and functioning smoothly throughout the colder months. That’s why we’ve created this Winter Maintenance Checklist to help you stay ahead of potential issues. With a little preparation, you can avoid costly repairs and enjoy a worry-free season.

1. Inspect Your Roof

Your roof is your first line of defense against winter weather.

  • Check for Damage: Look for missing or damaged shingles, as well as signs of wear that could lead to leaks.
  • Clear Gutters and Downspouts: Ensure they are free of debris to prevent ice dams, which can cause water to back up and leak into your property.
  • Look Inside for Warning Signs: Check your attic for water stains, mold, or insulation issues that might indicate a roof problem.

Why It Matters: A damaged roof can lead to water damage, mold growth, and structural issues—problems that are not only expensive but stressful.

2. Maintain Your HVAC System

Your heating system works overtime during the winter, and it needs regular maintenance to keep up.

  • Replace Filters: Dirty filters can restrict airflow and make your system work harder, increasing energy costs.
  • Schedule a Professional Tune-Up: A trained technician can inspect for issues, clean the system, and ensure it’s running efficiently.
  • Test Carbon Monoxide Detectors: If you use a furnace or other fuel-burning appliances, ensure detectors are working to protect your family.

Why It Matters: A well-maintained HVAC system not only keeps you warm but also reduces the risk of breakdowns and improves indoor air quality.

3. Protect Your Plumbing

Winter weather can wreak havoc on your pipes if you’re not careful.

  • Insulate Pipes: Wrap exposed pipes in unheated areas to prevent freezing.
  • Seal Drafts: Check for air leaks around windows, doors, and entry points for plumbing to keep cold air out.
  • Keep Water Moving: During extreme cold, let faucets drip slightly to avoid frozen pipes.

Why It Matters: A burst pipe can cause significant water damage, leading to costly repairs and the inconvenience of water disruption.

4. Check Your Insulation

Proper insulation is essential for maintaining energy efficiency and protecting your property.

  • Inspect Attic and Walls: Make sure your insulation is adequate and hasn’t been compromised by pests or moisture.
  • Seal Gaps and Cracks: Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal air leaks, especially around windows and doors.

Why It Matters: Good insulation keeps your property warm, reduces energy bills, and helps prevent moisture buildup that can lead to mold.

5. Ensure Fire Safety

Winter means more time indoors, often with fireplaces, heaters, and holiday lights.

  • Clean Chimneys and Fireplaces: Remove creosote buildup to prevent chimney fires.
  • Inspect Space Heaters: Use heaters with automatic shut-off features and place them at least three feet away from flammable objects.
  • Check Smoke Alarms: Replace batteries and test alarms to ensure they are functioning properly.

Why It Matters: Fire safety is critical in winter when heating equipment is in high use. A few simple precautions can save lives.

6. Prepare for Winter Storms

In Los Angeles, we may not see heavy snow, but winter storms and heavy rains are still a concern.

  • Trim Trees and Branches: Prevent limbs from falling during storms and damaging your property.
  • Stock Emergency Supplies: Keep flashlights, batteries, and a first-aid kit on hand in case of power outages.
  • Inspect Your Foundation: Check for cracks or leaks that could allow water intrusion during heavy rain.

Why It Matters: Taking steps to prepare for unpredictable weather protects your home from avoidable damage and ensures you’re ready for the unexpected.

Holiday Fire Safety Tips for Homeowners

The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and spending time with loved ones. However, it’s also a time when fire hazards are at their peak. From decorative lights to festive candles, many common holiday items can pose risks if not handled with care. SERVPRO of Wilshire Center is here to ensure your holiday season stays merry, bright—and safe!

1. Inspect Your Holiday Lights

  • Check all strings of lights for frayed wires, broken bulbs, or loose connections before use.
  • Avoid overloading electrical outlets and use a power strip with a circuit breaker if necessary.
  • Always turn off holiday lights before leaving the house or going to bed.

2. Choose Flame-Resistant Decorations

  • Opt for non-flammable or flame-resistant materials when decorating.
  • Keep decorations away from heat sources like radiators, fireplaces, and candles.

3. Be Candle-Cautious

  • Place candles on sturdy, heat-resistant surfaces and keep them at least 12 inches away from anything that can burn.
  • Never leave candles unattended, and extinguish them before leaving the room.
  • Consider using flameless LED candles for a safer option.

4. Water Your Christmas Tree

  • A dry Christmas tree is highly flammable. Water your tree daily to reduce the risk of a fire.
  • Keep the tree at least three feet away from heat sources like fireplaces or space heaters.

5. Cook with Care

  • Stay in the kitchen while cooking, especially when frying or using the stovetop.
  • Keep flammable items like dish towels and oven mitts away from heat sources.
  • If a small grease fire occurs, smother it with a pan lid rather than using water.

6. Test Your Smoke Alarms

  • Ensure all smoke alarms are functioning properly and have fresh batteries.
  • Install alarms in key areas like the kitchen, near bedrooms, and on every level of your home.

7. Have an Emergency Plan

  • Make sure everyone in your household knows the fire escape routes.
  • Practice fire drills to ensure a swift and safe evacuation in case of an emergency.

Responding to Flood Damage at Your Business | SERVPRO of Wilshire Center

Aftermath of a flood inside a warehouse, water damaged industrial building If your business has been hit by an unexpected flashflood, SERVPRO of Wilshire center is Here to Help®. Call us today!

Wilshire Center and Koreatown are a hub for businesses ranging from delicious restaurants to hotels and entertainment venues, and we are so grateful for all of the amazing business owners who keep these places running smoothly on a daily basis. 

We know that planning for disaster is an important part of running a business, but that doesn’t mean that certain disasters can’t still take you by surprise. For example, not many people would expect to come to work one day, open up doors and turn on the lights, and find water all over the floor!

Floods at your place of business are always an inconvenience, and they can even cause serious damage. Knowing what to do if a flood does occur at your work can help you stay in control and respond faster. 

What to Do First

Floods can be large or small, but they are always overwhelming when they do occur. After all, you don’t want to be dealing with soaked possessions and soggy floors on any day of the week! Stay calm and focus on keeping yourself and your employees safe. 

Close off the affected area to your employees and potential customers, and then assess the situation from higher, drier ground. Take as many photos as you can and then get us on the phone so we can start creating your recovery plan. The faster we work, the better chance you have of avoiding long-term damage issues and even mold infestations. 

While you wait for us to arrive, locate the water valve that is causing the mess in the first place and shut it off. This will at least stop the flow of water so the problem doesn’t continue to get worse. If you can’t find out exactly what is causing your issue, shut off the main water valve to your building. You can deal with turning it back on later after we have secured the situation. 

When SERVPRO® Shows Up 

We will arrive quickly and get to work removing the standing water and ventilating the area. We will set up air movers, open windows and extract the excess water with precision. We even have technology that allows us to see hidden moisture behind your walls. 

Once your space is dry, we will get started on any necessary repairs. Water can easily warp your structural supports or create soggy and dangerous floors, so we work carefully while keeping your safety in mind.

We know that every minute you are closed, your business and your employees are being affected. We are dedicated to working as quickly as we can in order to disrupt your daily life as much as possible. 

When you are surprised by standing water, do the right thing by calling SERVPRO of Wilshire Center. We will help put your building back together in no time at all. 

Flood situations can cause serious damage in a short amount of time. Contact SERVPRO of Wilshire Center for immediate assistance. 

The Soggy Reality of Thunderstorms in the Koreatown Area | SERVPRO of Wilshire Center

2/28/2024 (Permalink)

Fallen tree hurricane tornado storm devastation The aftermath of home storm damage is not something you should have to deal with alone. That’s why SERVPRO of Wilshire center wants to help. Call us!

The state of California is known for its beautiful weather, sunny days and overall pleasant weather, and the Los Angeles area is no different. We are so blessed with the weather in our community and will never complain about all the sun!

However, when it does rain, it can certainly rain. If we are experiencing drought conditions, rain can become a serious weather hazard when it does fall and any accompanying wind can take a minor situation and make it worse. 

We also aren’t strangers to experiencing hurricanes from time to time! Knowing what to do before, during and after a storm can help you stay safe and in control. 

Preparation Is Key 

Start getting your home ready as soon as a storm or rain is forecast. Clean up your yard and secure down anything you don’t want tossed about your yard due to any high wind. 

Set up your downspouts to point away from your house, and make sure your gutters are in good working condition. Grab a weather radio or tune into the local weather forecast to better understand the direction and severity of the storm. 

Stay inside and away from windows while the storm is in the area, and only go outside to look for potential damage when you are sure the storm has passed and there isn’t another wave on the horizon. Bring your phone and radio with you just in case you need to be alerted to any changing conditions.

Check in with other family members if they were not home when the storm passed through, and head over to check on your neighbors. Just because you and your home fared OK, it doesn’t mean that your neighbors did, too. 

Once everyone is determined to be safe, take a survey of your home to discover any damage that you incurred right away. Get us on the phone so we can get started on your restoration faster. 

Tips to Secure Your Home

We are proudly locally owned and operated, which means that we are watching the same forecast as you and experiencing the same weather. The only difference is that we start preparing our teams as soon as potentially dangerous weather is forecasted. We will be ready and waiting for your call as soon as you need us. 

Once we make our connection with you and start getting our people and trucks ready, you can also help mitigate damage to your home while you wait for us to arrive. Lay down tarps to protect your belongings from further damage, open a window or run a fan to start drying out your space, or set out buckets to catch any drips from getting onto your floor. 

Our team will get to work removing standing water while also securing your home from suffering more damage if it is exposed to the elements. We are proud to handle any sort of damage you experience, including minor water leaks all the way to severe impact damage if a tree falls on your home. We will be here for you from the very first phone call to the last walkthrough of your newly refurbished space.

We can even become your regular cleaning partner for routine deep-cleans of your property. We know you have a janitorial staff that handles your daily routine, but routine deep-cleans can ensure dust, dirt, grime and allergens are safely removed from your building and from the very air that you breathe. 

Biohazards and Dangerous Situations

We never expect to encounter potentially dangerous substances at work, but life is unpredictable! If you come upon a sewage leak at the back of your building or an accident occurs and there is blood on the floor, having a trained biohazard team handle the situation is always recommended. We have the training and safety gear to tackle the cleanup quickly and efficiently. 

We can also address any mold infestations that you discover on your property. Mold can grow quickly, and a few spores can turn into a colony in just a couple of days. Call us right away so we can contain the area, filter the air and tackle your mold remediation promptly. 

We would love to work together to help make your business the best it can be. Contact us day or night for immediate assistance.
