The Problem With Water
Water is one of the most destructive forces in construction. It seeps in quietly, spreads fast, and causes long-term damage to materials, finishes, and structure. Worse, it often goes unnoticed until it has already done significant harm.
Signs of Water Intrusion
You should take action if you notice:
-
Stains or discoloration on ceilings or walls
-
Soft spots in flooring or drywall
-
Musty smells in closed areas
-
Visible mold or mildew
-
Peeling paint or bubbling finishes
If left untreated, water intrusion can lead to mold growth, rot, and costly structural repairs.
What Causes It
Most water damage comes from roofing failures, envelope breaches, poor flashing, or mechanical leaks. Sometimes it is caused by a construction defect. Sometimes it is from maintenance neglect. Either way, it needs to be investigated quickly and thoroughly.
