Spots and Stains
Some of the more obvious signs of water damage are dark spots and water stains on the walls and ceilings.(Other places to look for discoloration include cabinets and carpets.) Recent water damage will appear darker in color while damage that has been sitting for a while will be chalky white.
Peeling and Bubbling Walls
If you notice that your paint or wallpaper is peeling and or bubbling, there is probably water damage behind it.Cracks typically occur when there are large areas of water damage that have spread and expanded. Moreover, bubbling and peeling usually correlate with a wet wall.
Signs of Mold

Any surface of your home or business can be prone to mold if it is left wet.Mold ranges in color from black to grey to white.
