The Visible Signs of Water Damage

Monday, May 6th, 2024

Water damage in a home can be highly troublesome because it’s both pervasive and destructive. When water gets into areas like walls, floors, and ceilings, it can weaken structural integrity, cause wood to warp, and lead to the growth of mold and mildew. Water damage often affects electrical systems and insulation, leading to expensive repairs and higher energy costs. The presence of moisture also creates an ideal breeding ground for pests, making the problems even worse.

It’s important that you address any water damage to your house as soon as possible. You can rely on Jarvis Restoration for water restoration in Orange County. But first, you’ll need to know the visible signs of water damage. It isn’t always easy to spot, so use this guide to help you find out early that you need to contact us.

What to Do About a Flooded Crawl Space

Monday, December 18th, 2023

If you start searching the internet for information on flooding and storm damage, you’ll come across many articles discussing what to do if your basement floods. A flooded basement is a serious problem—but if you live in Southern California, it’s not a problem at all. Because you don’t have a basement.

Instead, what our homes have—if they don’t sit directly on a concrete slab—are crawl spaces, a narrow area between the ground floor of a house and the ground itself. If you’ve ever had to enter the crawl space for your house, you know why it’s called that: it’s a tight space that requires moving on your hands and knees to navigate—if you ever need to navigate it.

If your home has a crawl space, it can flood just like a basement and create a serious danger of water damage. This flooding can happen from rainfall, but also because of plumbing leaks—so there’s no time of the year when you’re totally out of danger of flooding in the crawl space.

We’re the local experts for handling water damage in Orange County, CA, and in this post we’ll talk about what to do if you have a flooded crawl space.

5 Signs of Water Damage in Your Ceiling

Monday, September 25th, 2023

We often talk about dealing with the damage that can occur to homes due to large-scale catastrophes, such as wildfires or massive flooding. But damage from water, fire, and other elements doesn’t always emerge after big disasters. They can be more insidious, occurring when you don’t know to look for them.

One of the more common types of water damage that homes suffer is from leaky roofs. Homeowners often don’t pay much attention to their roofs, allowing them to sustain damage over time and age to the point where they don’t provide the waterproofing necessary to protect the house. Since we recently went through massive rainstorms in Southern California, water damage coming through a leaky roof is a major worry.

We want to look at ways you can tell you’ve got water damage to your ceiling. Then you can call us for an inspection to see if we need to help with restoration for water damage in Orange County, CA.
