Dealing with Water Damage to Your Rental Property in Rock Hill

Water Damage and Your Rental Property
Having tenants in your rental unit is a good thing, but sometimes even the most responsible tenants fail to notify the landlord about problems when they should. This can lead to future problems, and increased ones, at that. You need to make sure tenants know to notify you right away when things are broken or need to be repaired before they pose problems.
Not All Property Damage is Due to Misuse or Abuse by Tenants
While it's nice to have someone who is responsible and who notices things like leaky pipes and water lines living in your rental properties, that isn't always the case. When you are preparing to either sell an occupied unit or are inspecting one upon a move-out, you may find water damage. While buckling walls and loosened tub liners can be signs of water damage, so can soft spots in bathroom and kitchen floors. These should be repaired before allowing future tenants to move in and occupy the unit.

Often, tenants will damage walls and floors through carelessness, and other times, faulty installation and normal wear and tear can develop enough that water lines leak, and the glue that adheres tub and shower liners to the wall can deteriorate because of age, and allow the two to separate. This can allow water and moisture to enter into the space between them, creating additional problems.
Certified Technicians Using State-of-the-Art Measuring Devices can Help in Finding All of the Water Damage
We have the technical skills and the equipment that can locate additional areas that have been water damaged. Water flows, either along seams and crevices horizontally, or down, on the inside of walls, leading to other areas where water damage can happen. We can find these areas, and then after completely drying them out and stopping any leaky water lines from spilling any more water, repair them. We know you take pride in providing your tenants with a beautiful and safe place to call home, and we want you to be able to do this.
