Damage Restoration in San Francisco | Old World Restoration

Hidden pipe leaks often result from aging plumbing in older buildings, corrosion due to hard water, or shifting foundations common in earthquake-prone areas. We use thermal imaging and moisture sensors to detect leaks behind walls without unnecessary demolition.

Look for discolored insulation, musty odors, or water stains on ceilings. This is common in foggy neighborhoods like the Sunset, where warm indoor air meets cold roof surfaces. Early signs include peeling paint and increased humidity.

First, safely remove snow from the roof to stop further water intrusion. Then, dry and repair affected drywall, insulation, and framing. We also improve attic ventilation and insulation to prevent ice dams from recurring.
