Plumbers Kalamazoo
Common places where water damage comes from:
- Plumbing: Check for leaking faucets, dripping or “sweating” pipes, clogged drains and faulty water drainage systems. Inspect washing machine hoses and refrigerator lines for bulges, cracks or wetness. Inspect the water heater for signs of rust or water on the floor. Call a licensed Kalamazoo plumber to repair plumbing and water heaters.
- Windows and doors: Check for leaks around your windows and doors, especially near the corners. Check for peeling paint, which can be a sign of water getting into the wood. Inspect for discolorations in paint or caulking as well as swelling in windows, doorframes and surrounding materials.
- Roof: Repair or replace shingles around any area which allows water to penetrate the roof sheathing. Leaks are common around chimneys, plumbing vents and attic vents. Keep in mind the water often runs along an attic floors, rafters, or a truss before coming through the ceiling.
- Foundation and exterior walls: Seal any cracks and holes in external walls, joints and foundations. Examine closely any locations where piping or wiring extends through the outside walls and fill cracks with sealant.
