Water damage is the Culprit!

Crack in the concrete floor due to water damage!

Water damage is one of the major reasons that causes a house foundation to weaken!

When water damage hits at the core structure (foundation) of your home and isn't fixed in a timely manor it will cause cracks, erosion, even allowing wood to invite termites, mold and mildew. 

Here's 3 simple reminders to keep your eye on!

1. Check for water leaks: Dark spots under pipes inside sink cabinets, stains on ceilings, toilets that rock, and of course drips.

2. Check your Drainage systems: Poor drainage weakens your foundation, causing cracks, uneven settling, and pathways for water to enter your home.

3. Inspect your Roof! Repair missing, loose, and damaged shingles. Repair any cracked caulking and check for leaks around flashing.

Water damage escalates to mold and microbial growth issues in just a few days, which can compromise the health of the inhabitants, including your pets. Given these facts, water damage must be dealt with immediately to prevent further damage to your home or place of business.
