Blame it on the weather
or not…
Punxsutawney Phil may have predicted an early spring, but spring showers (rain and snow) have been abundant all winter this year.
Result: indoor water leaks abound.
What to do if your building has leaks? Here are three tips:
1. Determine the source.
Where does water enter the structure? Bear in mind that water travels. A stained ceiling or wet floor may be the earliest indicator of a leak, but that same water may have originally entered the building far away from where you first discover a leak. Until its point of origin is determined, leaks will continue and grow, as will the damages to both materials and personal health that they cause.
2. Determine the building’s conditions that allowed the water to enter.
It takes experienced professionals to pinpoint areas of water entry and travel with certainty so leaks can be properly identified and a plan of action formulated to truly fix leaks, rather than simply mask, delay, or temporarily stop them.
3. Fix the conditions that allowed the leakage.
The Thompson & Lichtner Co.’s leakage investigation staff has over 75 combined years of experience finding, evaluating, and testing for water leaks. We take a custom approach to investigations, recognizing that every building is different and that it may take one or a unique combination of tests to obtain investigative information necessary for each Client’s report, so that leaks can be properly addressed.
