Don't wait until it's too late

In Southern California, the rainy season is just around the corner.  Now is a good time to do a preemptive strike against water damage and mold before the rain arrives.

If your building(s) has landscaping that’s several years old, the growth of the plants may have changed the finish grade.  Roots, plant debris and mulch can affect the slope of the finish grade such that water no longer drains away from the building but towards it.  If this is the case, water may puddle against the building and seep or flow into the walls and the building’s interior.  This can cause water damage and mold growth that may remain hidden for quite some time before becoming visible on interior surfaces.  An inspection of the building’s exterior and application of corrective measures can prevent water damage and mold from occurring and disrupting the building’s occupants and operations.
