Water Damage Washington DC
While there is no specific checklist for the homeowner wondering if their property is at risk for, or may even already be afflicted by water damage in Washington DC, there are certain areas of your property you can inspect and factors you can consider to assess your potential risk for damage from water issues. First, ask yourself a few basic questions. How old is your house? What area of Washington DC? What type of plumbing and piping supplies – and removes – the water from your home (i.e. iron pipes, copper pipes, terra cotta in older homes, etc.)? Then you can do a simple inspection of various aspects of your property. Check out the condition of the pipes and, every bit as if not more importantly, the various joints and valves connecting, capping and segmenting the pipes. Any rust? Or that greenish, whitish build up (usually a mix of calcium and lime)? Next, if you can, check out your roof from both inside and out (meaning from the attic and by crawling up on top to check out the condition of the shingles or whatever roofing you have). If any of these questions or inspections give you pause to wonder about potential water damage issues, call in a pro for an expert opinion. Better to plan ahead than mop up, as it were.
