Water Damage in Oxnard and Ventura Homes

Water seems so... harmless. We drink it and bathe with it and cook with it and swim in it. We feed it to our pets and our plants and gardens and do a million other things with it and most us never even think about it unless there’s either a drought or a deluge. After all, it’s just water. So it’s surprising to realize how much damage water can do. Yep, plain water, left unchecked can ruin your home down to the foundation.

At the top of almost every home maintenance list, is the need to clean out your gutters regularly. Why? Because once rain gutters become clogged they’re not doing their job anymore. The job of a rain gutter is to catch the rain as it falls from your roof and direct it away from the house. Water backup caused by clogged gutters can rot wood gutters and rust those made of sheet metal.

One of the most important things in preventative home maintenance is to keep moisture away from your house. If too much water falls it can seriously damage the siding, create pathways for water to enter your home, and it can cause your home’s foundation to crack. Additionally, your foundation could settle, and the water could crack basement walls. The cost to stabilize, repair, and seal deteriorated foundation walls can easily run from $15,000 to $40,000. Yes, really!

Once water gets into the foundation or walls of your home it can also cause harmful mold and mildew that you may not even see for years. If you’ve ever seen a home improvement television show you’ve undoubtedly seen some eager DIY-er or contractor re-doing a bathroom or basement and as the sledgehammer goes into a wall, the mold appears. It’s both dangerous to your health and the health of your home and can be costly to fix. And look out for termites which are drawn by water!
