Signs to look for
When to call us for rental property water damage
So the repair lasts, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
A vacant unit smells musty when you open it
For a job done right, an empty unit has nobody to notice a running toilet or a weeping supply line for weeks.
Move out photos show staining that is not in the move in set
With sound workmanship in mind, comparing the two sets is the fastest way to date a problem you did not know about.
The tenant has stopped using a room
Before the finish work begins, a closed off bedroom, a bathroom nobody uses, or furniture moved away from one wall are all signals.
Two units in the same building report the same thing
For a job done right, matching complaints on stacked or adjacent units point to a shared line, a roof or a common assembly as opposed to tenant behavior.
Your contractor has patched the same ceiling twice
For a job done right, repeat patching means the surface was addressed and the wet material behind it was not.

Habitability documented room by room with dates

Extraction, removal and structural drying
So the repair lasts, water comes out of carpet, padding and hard flooring, and failed materials are removed and photographed in position first.
Tenant belongings kept on the correct side of the ledger
With sound workmanship in mind, your policy covers the building, not the tenant's furniture, clothing or electronics.
