(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- Dry Fast Water Damage Restoration - - is reminding homeowners and businesses throughout central Mississippi to take preventive steps against water damage this season. After years of helping local residents recover from floods, plumbing issues, and storm-related disasters, Dry Fast of Jackson, MS - Water Damage Restoration has identified the most common causes of water damage-and how property owners can avoid them.

The Top 5 Causes of Water Damage in Jackson

1. Aging or Corroded Plumbing Systems

Jackson's aging infrastructure has made pipe corrosion and plumbing failures a recurring issue for property owners. Small leaks can quickly escalate into major problems, soaking floors, ceilings, and drywall.

Prevention Tip: Inspect visible plumbing for corrosion and have older lines professionally evaluated.

2. Roof Leaks After Heavy Rainfall

Mississippi weather is known for sudden, heavy downpours that can overwhelm roofs and gutters. Even a small puncture or missing shingle can allow water to seep into attics and ceilings, causing long-term damage.

Prevention Tip: Clear gutters regularly and schedule annual roof inspections, especially after major storms.

3. Foundation and Basement Flooding

Because of Jackson's high clay content in the soil, water tends to pool near foundations during extended rainfall. Over time, this can cause cracks, seepage, and basement flooding.

Prevention Tip: Grade soil away from your foundation and ensure sump pumps are tested regularly before storm season.

4. Appliance Leaks and Malfunctioning Hoses

Dishwashers, washing machines, and refrigerator lines are frequent culprits in home water damage. When hoses crack or fittings loosen, water can leak for hours before being noticed.

Prevention Tip: Replace appliance hoses every few years and use water leak detectors near high-risk areas.

5. Hidden Mold Growth from Past Leaks

Even minor water damage left untreated can create the perfect environment for mold to thrive. Jackson's humid climate only accelerates that process. Mold can damage structures and lead to serious health concerns.

Prevention Tip: Address every water leak immediately and have your property inspected if you notice musty odors or visible growth.
