With most pipes hidden behind walls or fixtures, it’s critical for property managers, maintenance staff and even residents to keep an eye out for any signs of leaks and mold. To help identify a potential problem, here are six common signs of water damage and mold growth. When you notice signs of water damage on your multifamily property, contact All Weather Contractors at ☎️ 904-781-7060.

Checking and maintaining roof valleys is crucial because these areas channel water away from the roof and gutters. Debris such as leaves and twigs can obstruct this flow, leading to water pooling or overflow, which can cause significant damage. If water is blocked, it may back up under the shingles, resulting in leaks, water damage, and potential mold growth in the attic or walls. Additionally, clogged valleys can lead to gutter overflow, damaging the roof edge, siding, and foundation, and may exacerbate issues like ice dams in colder climates. Failure to address debris can shorten the roof's lifespan, increase repair costs, and pose health risks due to mold. Regular inspections and cleaning help prevent these issues, ensuring effective water management, avoiding costly repairs, and maintaining the overall value of the property. #RealChoiceHomeInspections #MasterInspector #HomeInspection #HomeInspector #PropertyInspection #RealEstateInspector #InspectingHomes #HomeBuyers #HouseHunting #HomeSweetHome #SafeAndSoundHome #HomeMaintenance #HomeOwnership #HouseInspector #InspectorsLife #DreamHomeInspection #HomeImprovement #InspectionDay #HomeBuyerTips #HomeInspectorLife #HomeInspectorCommunity

Grab your detective hat and take a stroll around your home, especially after a bout of snow or rain. Look for any suspicious signs like water stains on the ceiling or walls, or maybe even some mold making a surprise appearance. Don't forget to check your attic; it's like the secret lair for leaks. So, why take this investigative stroll? First off, leaks are sneaky. They don't always make grand entrances with flashing neon signs saying, "Hey, I'm here!" Instead, they leave subtle hints – those water stains are like tiny distress signals trying to catch your attention. They start small, almost unnoticeable, and then, when you least expect it, they can turn into a full-blown home invasion. Left unchecked, they bring along mold, damaged ceilings, and a hefty bill for repairs. Trust RPM to navigate the complexities of property management with precision!

Grading Your Grading - As the spring and summer storms come in, I figure now is as good a time as any to discuss the unsung hero of what’s keeping your house safe – grading. This is something that we all get lazy about and something that might not cause you harm immediately. BUT without proper grading and drainage it’s just a matter of time before your house starts to sag or leak. So, why does bad grading wreak such havoc? If the soil around the home is sloped toward it, then after heavy storms the water has nowhere to go but toward and into the foundation. Yes, this can cause an acute leak and you may have to repair finishes in your basement but over a long enough time water will erode the foundation and cause the house to start moving. First, you’ll see some cracks in the plaster or drywall, then your doors might become racked – where they stick when you close/open them. Let it go even longer and your home may need severe repairs that could cost you tens of thousands of dollars. And all that time all you had to do was make sure the grading around the house was positive – i.e. sloped AWAY from it! This also usually compounded by bad gutters and downspouts that are expelling water too close to the foundation; speeding up the erosion around the foundation. I know, sometimes the downspout comes out in an inconvenient place that becomes a tripping hazard for friends and kids (and usually me) but keeping the downspouts draining as far from the house as possible is key to keeping your house structurally sound and dry. So, now that all our sports teams are out of contention, get out there and check your grading and drainage! A few hours of your time and maybe a few hundred bucks in materials now or tens of thousands or more later - the choice is yours. More Spring Tips - https://lnkd.in/e9NSfaV7

Fall home maintenance is crucial for protecting the exterior of your home and preparing your property for the winter months ahead. During this season, addressing issues like cleaning gutters, inspecting the roof, and sealing cracks in windows or doors can prevent more serious problems like water damage, ice dams, and heat loss. By investing time in these tasks during the fall, you safeguard your home's structural integrity and avoid expensive repairs down the line!
