SERVPRO of Vero Beach is fully equipped to handle all your water remediation needs!

In most cases, renters are not responsible for water damage. This means, as a landlord it is important to know what signs of water damage to look for. With the exception of long-term tenants, you likely check the property at least once a year. These checks are typically done upon a renter's move-in date and move-out date, at a minimum. During these opportunities, you should check for the following signs of water damage:

• Changes in your walls' surface texture can indicate water damage such as bending, sagging, bubbling or rippling of dry wall.
• Buckling or swelling of laminate and wood flooring.
• Musty or foul odors can be a sign of mildew and mold.
• Swelling or splitting cabinets, especially under or near plumbing.

You should never neglect if you or the tenant notices any of the above signs of water damage as it can lead to bigger problems down the road. Instead, give SERVPRO of Vero Beach a call at 772-770-0501. We are here to help!
