Recently, we were called out for a case of water damage in Hudson FL when some new homeowners discovered an unsightly water stain in their living room ceiling.
“You know, we actually noticed it when we bought the house but because it was a bit of a reno job, we just figured it was nothing and we could paint over it,” said one of the homeowners. Had the husband and wife team, the Smiths* (name changed for article), looked more closely at the stain upon purchase, they might have thought twice about just painting over it.
In 2010, the homeowners purchased a house that was half renovated as the previous owner ran out of funds to complete the renovation. The Smiths purchased the home, impressed with the renovations that were done and figured that what was left would be easy enough to tackle. Unfortunately for the Smiths, most of the renovations were done hurriedly and/or improperly, which was leading to problems popping up all the time. The finally called in our expert water restoration team when the figured that the unsightly stain in their living room was actually water damage.
Upon first look, our team members confirmed that indeed the stain was water damage. But from where?
