Merriam KS Water Damage Inspection

One critical piece of information we’ve taken to heart from the 17+ years in business since we were founded is that water damage can lead to a huge degree of damage in a short timeframe. That’s why it’s so important to perform a Merriam KS water damage inspection if your property has recently fallen prey to flooding or major plumbing problems. The speedier you confirm the exact whereabouts and degree of water damage, the earlier you can start remediation.

How Do Inspectors Find Water Damage? 

• Watermarks on the ceiling: Water marks left on the ceiling are symptoms of drippy pipes or a leaky roof.
• Stained walls and cracking drywall: The drywall has to be as dry as possible. But when it’s exposed to moisture, it can begin to warp and deteriorate in time. Stay vigilant for brown or yellow discoloration and stains in addition to stripping paint.
• Mildew: Mold on walls can indicate that there’s a serious underlying issue. You may have a leaky pipe that’s that’s damaging the drywall and insulation.
• Distorted floors: Warped flooring can be a symptom of an excess of moisture below your floorboards or a problem with the home’s foundation.
• Rust stains: Sting rust stains can be a symptom of moisture exposure for a longer period of time.
• Strange smells: A musky odor can be a sign of poor ventilation.
