Knock, Knock. Are You Letting in Leaks?

2/25/2022 (Permalink)

Smart homeowners make every effort to ensure their doors and windows are locked to keep out any unwanted or uninvited guests. The trouble is, when it comes to water damage in your home, there are plenty of places for it to hide. 

Water damage doesn’t always look as dramatic as, say, basement flooding, but it can be just as destructive when it goes undiscovered for any length of time.

For instance, a top hiding spot where water collects and causes damage is just outside your front door. Or even your back door. Really, any exterior door threshold has the potential to suffer water damage, especially after significant or sustained rainfall. 

Over time, you might start to see the metal threshold loosen because the wood beneath is rotting or has, in fact, rotted away. 

Keeping an eye on telltale signs of water damage like this is important when it comes to protecting the structural integrity of your home. Also important? Knowing who to call for water damage restoration and water damage remediation.
