How To Deal With The Hidden Causes Of Water Damage

Clearwater, Florida, August 20, 2009 – Water damage is an aftermath of the devastation brought about by floods. In addition to the destruction caused by water damage, it can also affect the quality of air inside your home. Other than its natural cause, water damage may also be caused by obvious leaks in the plumbing system, roofs and cracks on doors and windows. However, there are contributing factors to water damage that are not seen until damages are made such as condensation of moisture behind basement walls with fiberglass as insulators, poor grading around the foundation of the house, and air leaks between the attic and living space of the house. QCI has Water Damage Tampa restoration team that can help you solve your water damage problems.

Fiberglass is not a good material to use for insulation on finished basement walls. Contrary to what most people think, the use of plastic made barrier on walls is not the answer as it will only trap in more moisture. QCI advises the use of blue board as insulation since it is semi-permeable and it allows water or moisture to flow through it, allowing it to dry.

Other causes of water damage are the leaky attic hatches, unsealed holes that were drilled for water pipes installation and electrical wires that have penetrated the attic and exhaust fans that drive moisture directly to the attic. Air conditioning may also cause water damage. Those who live in areas that are relatively humid like in Tampa, Florida may have water damage occurring in their house’s walls secondary to poorly structured air conditioning systems.

Solutions to these problems require the help of professionals like QCI’s Water Damage Tampa Restoration Team.
