Water damage can be a real troublemaker. It's fast-moving, sneaky, and it can lead to some serious headaches. What's worse is that it often lurks in the shadows, showing up as mold, leaks, and expensive messes when you least expect it. But don't fret – there are ways to keep your East Lansing home safe from these hidden water damage threats.

Here's the lowdown on what to watch out for:

• Your Roof: Your roof can be a real trickster. It's not something you check every day, right? Water damage on the roof can sneak up on you slowly, starting as a tiny leak that you might not notice until it's a full-blown disaster. And if it seeps into your attic, well, that's a whole other can of worms. Mold loves to party in dark, damp attics.
• Your Bathroom: Bathrooms are notorious hiding spots for water damage. Sneaky leaks can form around sinks, and faucets can start doing their best impressions of mini waterfalls. Keep an eye out for puddles, extra moisture, and slow drains around your tub and toilet. Sometimes, these issues like to play hide and seek, so a little detective work can go a long way.
• Other Appliances: It's not just the bathroom – other spots in your Haslett house can hide water damage too. Large appliances can be culprits. Water can sneak under and behind them, causing trouble without you even knowing. Give your appliances a little shuffle from time to time and inspect for any signs of mischief.

And here's a bonus tip: make it a habit to check your plumbing regularly. Small issues can become big problems if left unchecked.
