Water Damage
Water damage has caused damage to the ceiling, wall, and even started to erode the plaster around this chimney resulting in a gas leak.
Water damage is a serious issue for homeowners.
Often water damage is obvious, and can come from several sources: floods, burst pipes, leaky roofs, seepage, etc. But even if you can’t see any damage right away, a slow flow of water can often be worse than obvious leaks. Left untreated, it can cause:
-
Pipe corrosion
-
Foundation damage
-
Foul odors
-

Finding and repairing hidden water damage can be an even greater challenge.
Fixing the problem may be a monumental undertaking unless it is caught in time. Depending upon the source of the damage, it may or may not be covered by homeowner’s insurance, and major construction might be required to get to the source of the problem.
A professional inspection can help.
Using advanced moisture detection devices, coupled with years of experience, we can often detect water damage long before it becomes a problem.
