Detecting Hidden Damp Spots Under Tables: A Guide to Water Damage Prevention

Water damage can occur in the most unexpected places, including under tables. Unnoticed damp spots can lead to mold growth, warping, and other issues that can be costly to repair. At Surprise Water Damage Restoration, we recommend regular checks to prevent water damage. In this post, we'll show you how to check under tables for unnoticed damp spots.

Why Check Under Tables?

Tables are often placed in areas prone to water spills, such as kitchens, dining rooms, and offices. Even small spills can seep under the table and cause damage. Regular checks can help you catch damp spots early, preventing further damage. Our Wet Carpet Edge Drying service can help with water damage caused by spills.

How to Check Under Tables

To check under tables, follow these steps:

• Lift the tablecloth or any other coverings to expose the surface
• Inspect the surface for any signs of water damage, such as warping, discoloration, or mineral deposits
• Check for any musty smells or mold growth
• Use a flashlight to inspect the underside of the table and the surrounding area

If you find any damp spots, it's essential to address them immediately. Our Flooded Corridor Drying service can help with larger areas of water damage.
