Detecting Hidden Water Damage Under Tables: A Comprehensive Guide

Water damage can be a silent destroyer of homes and businesses, often going unnoticed until it's too late. One of the most common places for water damage to occur is under tables, where spills, leaks, and condensation can accumulate and cause significant damage. In this article, we'll show you how to check under tables for unnoticed water damage and provide tips on how to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Why Check Under Tables for Water Damage?

Tables are often placed in areas where water is frequently used, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Over time, water can seep under the table and cause damage to the floor, walls, and surrounding structures. If left unchecked, this damage can lead to costly repairs, mold growth, and even structural issues. At Eugene Water Damage Restoration, we've seen firsthand the importance of moisture intrusion investigation in preventing water damage.

How to Check Under Tables for Water Damage

To check under tables for water damage, follow these steps:

• Move the table away from the wall and inspect the area underneath
• Look for signs of water damage, such as warping, discoloration, or mineral deposits
• Check for any musty odors or mold growth
• Use a moisture meter to detect any hidden water damage

If you do find water damage under your table, it's essential to act quickly to prevent further damage. Our team at Eugene Water Damage Restoration offers drying of interior cabinets and structural humidity reduction services to help mitigate the damage.
