Clayton Water Damage Inspection

One critical lesson we’ve taken to heart from our 25+ years in business years in the industry is the following: water damage can cause an immense amount of damage quite quickly. 

That’s why it’s crucial to schedule a water damage inspection in Clayton if your property has recently fallen prey to flooding or plumbing problems. The speedier you confirm the exact location and degree of water damage, the quicker you can start remediation and repairs. 

With our 5-star rated home inspectors, we specialize in top-quality inspections for residential and commercial properties throughout Clayton. We’re grateful to be based locally in Greater St Louis – we’ve considered this land home ever since we first opened our doors in 1996.

In that time, we’ve assisted countless clients with assessing their property’s water damage, whether they’re looking to buy or sell or simply looking to do repair work or maintenance. 

Our inspection team will check out these areas of your property: 

• Attic
• Crawl space and basement
• Bathrooms and kitchens
• Plumbing and beneath sinks
• Boiler or hot water tank
• Walls and ceilings
• Heater and ductwork 

The exterior of a home is also essential, so inspectors will look over the following:

• Roof
• Gutters and eaves
• Garage
• Storage areas and sheds

How do inspectors uncover water damage? 

• Watermarks or wet spots on the ceiling: Water stains on the ceiling point to a damaged pipe or roof leaks.
• Speckled walls and flakey drywall: Drywall should always stay very dry. But when it’s exposed to moisture or water, it can begin to warp and mold over time. Keep your eyes peeled for yellowish-brown stains and discoloration stripping paint.
• Mildew: Mold on walls can mean that there’s a major issue. You may have a leaky pipe that is soaking the drywall and insulation.
• Distorted floors: Distorted flooring can indicate a build-up of moisture below the floorboards or a problem with your foundation.
• Rust: Rust can be a symptom of water exposure over some time.
• Strange odors: A musty smell can indicate shoddy ventilation among other things.
