Crawlspace with Water Damage in Lincoln City, OR

Often times we overlook the areas of our home where we do not frequently visit like the crawlspace or the attic. It’s important to do routine checks of these areas to make sure there are no leaks or rodents causing damage to your home. For example, a leaking hot water heater in a home can cause serious water damage to the inside of the house as well as to the crawlspace. Any old or compromised water heater that starts leaking can cause elevated moisture, visible microbial growth and could compromise the structure of the home. If you notice your hot water heater is leaking it’s important to shut off the water heater or shut off the main line and call a professional water mitigation specialist like Disaster Master to help mitigate the water damage in your home.
