Water Damage: Causes, Types, and Water Damage Threshold

Causes of Water Damage

Water damage can occur from various sources, including:

  • Leaking pipes
  • Flooding
  • Rainwater
  • Burst water heaters
  • Condensation

Types of Water Damage

Three main types of water damage are:

  • Gray water: From sources like washing machines, toilets, and dishwashers.

How Much Water Does it Take to Cause Water Damage?

The amount of water required to cause water damage varies depending on factors like:

However, it’s important to note that even a small amount of water can cause significant damage over time, especially if it goes unnoticed or untreated.
