If moisture starts seeping into a home it can result in all manner of issues ranging from poor air quality to structural damage. If water has been entering the home undetected for some time, it can also be a very costly problem to fix. So, let’s have a look at some common moisture intrusion locations.
The roof. Damaged shingles, badly installed flashing, and inadequate slope are just some of the reasons why moisture may be entering through the roof. Look out for clogged gutters and downspouts too as they will also create problems.
Foundations. With time, holes and cracks form in the foundations of the home which will easily allow water to get in.
Leaking pipes and fixtures, blocked drains, and dripping faucets should all be fixed quickly in order to prevent moisture intrusion from becoming a bigger problem within the plumbing system.
