If you are you looking to purchase a home, buy an investment property, or remodel your current property a rainy day is the best time to see any leaks or drainage issues that need to be addressed. You can check out the roof, gutters, and grade of the property. Make sure you inspect the attic especially around chimneys and vents as these errors are particularly susceptible to water damage.

You can watch to see if the gutters are over flowing and see if the splash blacks are positioned correctly. If there are issues with water it is good to know before you purchase, rent, or remodel and the faster the problem is identified the faster it can be fixed. Storm damage, standing water, and moisture can cause mold to grow which could eventually become a health risk as well as cause further damage to sheetrock and carpet. Prolonged exposure to mold as well known to cause long lasting  health issues.

If you suspect you have roof damage or defects in your home caused by water that may lead to mold the work can be started immediately after the inspection making it easy to meet a closing date.

Storms, wind, and fallen limbs can cause damage that is not recognized immediately.  If the damage is beyond your capabilities to repair seek out a quality water damage restoration company to do the work for you.
