About water intrusion cleanup
Water intrusion is often slow and repeated: a little water every time it rains. Because it happens gradually, damage can build up behind finishes before anyone notices.
We clean and dry the affected areas, identify where water is entering so you can arrange the right exterior repair, and document what we find.
Common causes
- Foundation cracks
- Failed window flashing or caulking
- Clogged eavestroughs
- Poor lot grading
- Roof and chimney leaks
Warning signs
