Watch Out For These Water Damages To Boynton Beach Rental Homes

Overlooking water damages to your rental property can decrease your reputation in the eyes of potential clients and, in the long term, potentially lower the rates you can charge reliably. Having a safe and clean environment to live and stay in is paramount for most renters, and without careful attention to water damages on your property, they may feel that these basic needs are unaddressed. Stay on the lookout for these slower and less-obvious water damages that may happen to your rental property.

Leaks
Leaking faucets, pipes, and appliances can all cause substantial water damage to Boynton Beach rental homes. Any water source introduced in a place where it does not belong is liable to cause extensive damages, and most leaks happen where you're least likely to check for them. Moisture behind an appliance or a damp spot on the wood beneath your sink may be the only signs you have that anything is wrong when going through and inspecting the property. Identifying any unusual areas of moisture in the building is a good way to identify and patch up leaks before they develop into substantially larger problems.

Storm Damage
You never know when a renter may leave open a window and allow rain to pour in during a storm. Or, the window might be left open just a crack, allowing more and more rain to flow in as the days and weeks go by. These situations, while unfortunate and frustrating to deal with, are often not terribly difficult problems for a professional damage mitigation company like SERVPRO. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster, so call us in as soon as possible after the incident, and we should be able to dry out the area and prevent most of the expensive damages from happening.

Mold Growth
The growth of mold colonies in your property is a great way to not only see a rapid drop in interest and favorability from clients but also to potentially incur some hefty fines for health code violations. A professional company like SERVPRO should always handle mold in the home, or else you could end up making the issue worse by spreading spores around the entire property. Look out for any fuzzy patches of discoloration or unusual white spots on your walls - these may be critical signs of a potential mold problem and should be dealt with before things get any worse.
