Troy’s booming renovations and sleek modern interiors often hide serious water risks. The IICRC emphasizes that hidden water damage—especially in high-end finishes—is one of the most overlooked threats in homes.
💧 Where Water Damage Can Linger Unnoticed in Troy Homes:
Behind Floating Vanities or Cabinets:
Wall-mounted designs look sleek but often conceal slow leaks from plumbing connections that go unchecked for months.
Underneath Engineered Hardwood or Vinyl Plank Flooring:
These popular materials are water-resistant on the surface, but moisture trapped beneath can warp subfloors or lead to hidden mold.
Around Built-in Appliances:
Refrigerators with water dispensers and dishwashers can leak slowly, damaging cabinetry and drywall out of sight.
Under Stone Countertops or Tile Backsplashes:
Grout cracks or failed sealants allow water to seep into walls where it soaks insulation and fosters microbial growth.
💧 Beauty shouldn’t come at the cost of structural health—know where water hides in modern homes.
