Dangers of Water Damage
When moisture enters your home, it causes damage to the surrounding areas. Wood will expand with moisture and begin to rot. If left unresolved, rotting wood will lead to weaknesses in the frame of your house.
Water Damage Inspection Process
A professional will inspect both the exterior and interior areas of a home when doing a water damage inspection. In an exterior inspection, the professional will examine the roof for leaks. Missing shingles and flashing around the chimney are common problem areas. Exterior walls and broken windows are another place where water damage can occur.
Inside the home, the professional will examine the attic to search for wet insulation, moisture on the ceiling, cracked joists, and issues with the ductwork. Drywall and ceilings will show evidence of leaks, as well as warped woodwork. Areas around plumbing will likely show hints of moisture such as cracked flooring or stained walls
