Water Instrusion

When one or more of the waterproofing seals on your home is compromised, the results are easy to predict. Moisture wastes no time making its way into dark and unventilated areas of your home, damaging structural and superficial features alike, and fostering an ideal environment for mold to grow unchecked. Even the smallest of hairline cracks in your stucco can invite a steady trickle of water that reoccurs with every rainfall, creating a cumulative effect that quickly adds up over time. With each day that passes, the need for remediation grows more urgent.

Water intrusion commonly causes damage to drywall, baseboard and electrical fixtures. This requires replacement of not just the affected materials, but almost always goes hand in hand with the treatment of mold growths which pose a potential hazard to your health. On the second floor of most homes, the repercussions of ignoring water intrusion are much more serious: being composed of wooden framework, exposure to water can (and will) rot the supportive structure, which, when ignored and allowed to worsen, can be a legitimate threat to the safety of all occupants.
