We have had some really crazy weather in Phoenix lately. 6 inches of rain in one day? It doesn't seem possible, but we are now dealing with the repercussions of the flooding and have been running into a lot of issues lately with water damage. We want you to make sure your home is safe from lingering damage, so we have invited Bruce LaBell, from Royal Home Inspection Services to explain to us the steps you need to take to protect your home from water damage.
Home inspectors like Bruce are first going to look to see what's happening on the outside of the home. If your home lies on a negative grade, you are in danger of letting water seep into your home. If water appears to seep in, the next step is checking the walls.
After they check the outside of the home, inspectors will then head inside to determine the extent of the water damage. To do this, they will use moisture-sensing tools to determine if water has, in fact, leaked in. The next step is opening up the wall in the affected area to dry everything out.
Once all the water damage is dried, Bruce or another one of his mold assessment technicians will test to make sure no mold is growing inside of the house. It's important to catch mold early on because it starts growing in 24 hours and starts spreading in 7 days.
If you have any questions about protecting your home from water damage or are curious about what your next step should be, please give us a call. We can get you in touch with somebody who will be able to take care of your needs.
