There are 5 things that could cause leaks in this picture.
When surveyed, 55% of homeowners said that they have lived in a house with a wet basement.
That is a sad fact. But, the good news is that most water damage can be fixed if its identified. To the untrained eye, a damp basement is sometimes difficult to recognize. We’ll give you some clues to spot a water issue below. Once moisture problems are identified, a professional will know the best route for you to take to solve them.
Let's see how well your deduction and leak detective skills are:
- The roof - A very unique tile roof… we like to test these!
- The gutter - Do you know what type this is? Its a “half - round”
- The Tree - Of course! How could you miss that, it's too close!
- The downspout - While barely visible, its a highly likely source for a clog.
- Finally, - The man. Yes, he is responsible for clearing and maintaining the house. But, sometimes age, makes it very difficult to do maintenance. If you know an aging neighbor, and they are having water troubles we can help make their lives easier.
We all want a maintenance free (or nearly free) drainage system. While you might need a drainage review too, most homes have a seriously neglected the drainage system.
