How Does Flooding or Water Damage Affect My Home’s Value?
Let’s get down to it. Flooding and water damage does decrease the value of your Dallas – Fort Worth area home. Water damage can have an immediate effect on your home’s value as well as the long-term effects if not dealt with promptly and properly by a professional. The decrease in your home’s value is due to structural damage, foundational issues, and mold from water damage.
The structural damage will severely compromise your walls, floors, ceilings, and crawl spaces. Be sure to complete a thorough inspection of your home, looking for signs of rotting wood, sagging beams, cracks in walls, and broken electrical fixtures.
Most of the foundational issues are either irreversible or very expensive, especially if you have a basement. Keep in mind the longer that the foundation damage exists, the worse it could get and more expensive it will be to get repaired. Identify these issues immediately and contact a disaster restoration company for help.
Mold will start to appear in areas of stagnant water, usually in the walls or carpet. Mold is not only harmful to your health, but can soften the materials in your home, causing long term damage to the drywall, studs, and insulation. Mold feeds on the wood and drywall and spreads into other materials. If you experienced flooding of any kind during these harsh winter months, it’s important to have your home inspected for mold immediately.
