How can you tell there has been drywall water damage?
There are a few different indicators that your walls have sustained water damage. If you’ve noticed that spots on your walls appear darker or lighter (depending on the paint colour), you could have water damage. When the water is absorbed, the walls will become damp and lead to discolouration. Water damage can also show yellow or brown stains, which can reflect water from a slow leak somewhere.
If you notice a change in your paint, like bubbling, peeling, or your wallpaper is flaking off. It could be an indicator of water damage. If you’ve noticed this is happening in your home, definitely do a thorough inspection for water damage. You may only need a new interior paint job in other cases.
