Physical Signs Can Indicate a Need for Water Damage Restoration in San Antonio Properties

Water damage is a consistent threat to San Antonio and Bexar County. It may be necessary to have a team of professionals to help mitigate damages when possible. Identifying the potential problem is the first step, and thorough the property inspection can help target where water damage might exist.

• Extraction
• Content removal

• Repairs

Ceiling Damage After Leaks

Water damage restoration for San Antonio properties must be determined through physical signs in problem areas. Identifying a plumbing leak in the ceiling assembly is often easier than wall systems, as gravity allows damp materials to sag under saturation weight and drip where structural elements become too overwhelmed by water migration.

Wall System Damage 

Wall assemblies can show signs of water damage through discolorations of the drywall out on the surface of the wall system. Damp materials like these will also begin to swell or crumble after prolonged water exposure. When surface materials do not need to be removed, weep holes can drain standing water from cavities and help with dry air infusion.
