PUDDLES receives numerous calls from property owners worried about roof leaks and the potential presence of mold. In every case, we emphasize the importance of addressing the roof leak(s) — the source of the issue — as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, some property owners postpone repairs, allowing a minor problem to escalate into a much larger and more costly situation. For instance, what begins as a small leak can lead to significant water damage and increased remediation expenses if not handled promptly. For example:
WHAT HAPPENED?
A client in Ocala, FL realized that the peeling paint in the ceiling continued to get worse and eventually called PUDDLES Restoration to conduct an inspection. During the inspection we explained that there are usually only three possible causes for a ceiling incurring water damage, and one of those causes is 99% of the time the culprit.
Later that day the client had a roofed confirmed the cause – a roof leak, which resulted in the roof being tarped the following day.
WHAT DID PUDDLES DO?
1. Placed floor covering to protect the client’s floor and created a containment to minimize particulates disbursement.
2. We then removed the wet drywall and insulation
3. Then cleaned up afterwards
If you have any water damage, including wet ceilings, call PUDDLES Restoration to conduct a water damage inspection as soon as possible.
