Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if water damage has affected structural components?
Signs include soft or spongy flooring, sagging ceilings, doors that won't close properly, and visible rot or discoloration on exposed wood. Our inspection can identify hidden structural damage.
Is structural moisture damage covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the cause. Sudden water damage is typically covered, while gradual moisture damage or deferred maintenance may not be. Our documentation helps support your claim.
Can structural damage be repaired or does it require replacement?
It depends on severity. Minor damage may be treated and reinforced, while severe rot or deterioration typically requires replacement of affected components.
