Water Damage May Be Hiding in Your Home or Business

8/8/2019 (Permalink)

Things you might not think of could be causing unseen damage to your home.

Building materials and water don’t mix. Insulation, wood studs, plywood sheathing, and subflooring can all degrade, rot, or develop mold when they’re repeatedly saturated with water. Making the situation even worse, this water damage is often hidden from sight, tucked away between walls or under floors. As a result, significant structural damage can occur before it’s discovered.
