SAN DIEGO, CA, July 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) Homes are the biggest purchase that most consumers make, and protecting them is a job that requires preventive maintenance and professional assistance. Water damage is a common problem, and prevention is the key. However, there are some times that accidents occur, and Dry Express Restoration offers 24 hour service, quality workmanship and specializes in excellent customer service. Roofs are perhaps the most common source of water damage, and homeowners should be sure to pay close attention to ceilings. Often, small problems can be identified and repaired early on. Gutters, drains, windows, doors and plumbing are other common sources of water damage.
Roofing Leaks
Roofing is one of the most common leak areas, and homeowners can rely on preventive maintenance and early intervention instead of water damage restoration. Skylights are a common source of leaks. Checking the drywall for discolorations is essential. Condensation is another problem that can cause skylights to leak. Excessive moisture around the glass or metal frame is a sign of inadequate ventilation and may require expert assistance. Plumbing pipes, chimneys and air vents may also lead to leaks. Homeowners can easily inspect the roof from the attic during and after a rain storm. Leaks usually make their way down rafters or trusses and are easy to spot with a flashlight. Sometimes, water damage restoration is essential, and Dry Express Restoration handles drying the structure and repairing the damage.
Gutters and Downspouts
The area around the roof's eaves is another area that is prone to water damage. Gutters should be cleaned annually or protected from leaves because debris clogs the downspouts and causes backups. In higher elevations and colder environments, ice dams are another problem that can affect the gutter area. These are common in the winter and are associated with inadequate ventilation. The dams are easily spotted by looking for water damage under the gutters. Icicles that occur during the winter are another sign that ice dams are causing water damage.
Windows and Doors
Windows and doors are another common area for water damage. Most builders use a sealant to protect the home during the installation of windows and doors as well as water proofing paper. Most products are good for several years but do not last forever. Improper installation methods such as reversal of the drip edge or incorrect tying in of the waterproofing can also cause water leaks. Checking windows and doors for excessive moisture is one way to ensure that no water damage restoration projects are lurking under the home's surface.
Dry Express Restoration offers quality water damage restoration, customer-oriented service and emergency services. The firm is fully licensed and insured and has been working in the water damage industry for years. To contact a representative, do not hesitate to reach them at 888-DRY-EXPRESS (379-3977).
