Damage Restoration & Fixture Refinishing | Daniel and Mary in Lake Los Angeles, CA

Common signs of water damage from a leaking skylight include visible water stains or discoloration on the ceiling or walls directly under the skylight, peeling paint or wallpaper, and a musty odor. You may also notice warping or bubbling of the drywall. In Lake Los Angeles, temperature swings can cause sealant to fail, leading to gradual leaks. If you suspect a leak, it's best to have a professional assess the damage early to prevent mold growth and structural issues.

To fix a window leak and the resulting wood damage, we first locate and seal the source of the intrusion, often by resealing the window frame or replacing worn weatherstripping. Next, we assess the extent of the water damage to the wood. For minor damage, we may sand and refinish the wood. For more severe rot, we will remove the damaged sections and splice in new wood before refinishing. Our goal is to restore your window's integrity and appearance, ensuring it's weathertight for years to come.

Crawl space moisture damage can be caused by poor ventilation, groundwater seepage, or plumbing leaks. In Lake Los Angeles, the soil's clay content can hold moisture close to the foundation. Look for signs like a damp, musty smell, visible mold or mildew on the walls or floor joists, rotting wood, or rusting metal supports. You might also notice increased humidity levels in the rooms above. If you see any of these signs, addressing the source of moisture and performing damage restoration promptly is crucial to prevent further structural decay.
