#9: Water Damage
Don’t let water damage play hide and seek with you! Start your detective work around your sinks, plumbing fixtures, and under windows. Be on the lookout for the villainous mold, the traitorous decaying caulk, and the sneaky sink leaks. But wait, there’s more! Ever noticed paint on your drywall puffing up like a bubblegum bubble? That’s not a fun wall feature; it’s a sign of water-related skulduggery beneath the surface.
Regularly checking for water damage in your house is essential for preventing structural issues and mold growth. Detecting leaks or moisture early enables prompt repairs, mitigating further damage and health risks. Periodic inspections ensure your home remains dry, safe, and free from costly water-related repairs, preserving its integrity and value.
