Water damage can wreak havoc in any home. Even if you catch it early, it can be quite expensive to repair. Further, the longer water damage goes unaddressed, the greater the damage can be. The soggy, warped and rotting building components left behind once the water has subsided is the perfect breeding ground for mold, which creates a health hazard within the home and requires an entirely different approach. Even if your home is not currently experiencing any signs of water damage from issues related to a leaking or faulty foundation, there are steps you should take to prevent that from happening.
