Spot Interior House Water Damage Before You Buy

n our last blog on Mold Removal Florida . net, we went over what signs of water damage to look out for on the exterior of  home prior to buying a property.  In today’s follow up, we will go over what to look for on the inside of a house to help make sure you are not getting into a moisture ridden or mold damage problem property.

First things first.  Document anything you find that is suspicious and make sure you check everything when visually inspecting the interior of a home.

To begin, take a look at all the walls, ceilings and floors. Are any of the surfaces wet? Can you spot any cracks? Do you see any stains? A water stain on the ceiling may point to a roof leak, however if you have water pipes in the attic these may be the issue. Look at the walls. Do you see any signs of flaking, swelling or any discoloration or yellowing? Are any of the walls soft to the touch? Is the ceiling ballooning anywhere? Can you see any visible signs of mold?
