Cast iron pipes have been a staple in plumbing systems for many decades due to their durability and ability to handle high-pressure water flow. Cast iron pipes are prone to corrosion, particularly at the bottom where water tends to accumulate. This leads to a higher concentration of dissolved oxygen and corrosive compounds like hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, which react with the iron to form rust. Over time, this corrosion weakens the pipe's structure, causing it to thin and eventually crack. When cast iron pipes crack or leak, they can cause significant water damage to the surrounding structures. This includes floors, walls, and cabinetry. Water seepage can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and even foundational issues if not addressed promptly. Call SERVPRO of Malibu 310-456-2135.

If the ice maker supply line leaks, it can create pools of water under or around the appliance, leading to water damage to floors, cabinetry, and walls.

Water from a leak can seep into surrounding materials, such as drywall or wood, creating an environment conducive to mold growth.

Leaking dishwasher can definitely cause damage to wood flooring. Continuous leaks can lead to standing water, which can seep into the seams of the wood flooring, causing it to swell and warp.

To prevent damage, it’s important to address any leaks promptly and ensure proper maintenance of the dishwasher.

Can a planter box cause damages to your home? YES -Excess water from the plants can lead to mold or rot, especially if the box is directly against a wall. If a planter box is too close to the foundation and retains moisture, it can cause soil erosion or settling, potentially leading to cracks in the foundation. If trees or large plants are used, their roots can invade the foundation or plumbing, leading to costly repairs. If you are experiencing any of these and have a visible water damage at your residence. Call SERVPRO of Malibu 310-456-2135

In the water damage profession, there are a lot of different types of equipment you can use to determine how high or low the moisture levels are in different types of materials. 

With all these rains it is important to have your roof checked out when the weather is nice. Be proactive so the rains don't damage your home or contents inside.  

Water damage in 90049 is a common occurrence these days with all the storms we are having in Southern California. When in doubt call the experts to come and estimate the damage. 

What started as a fish tank leak ended with all new floors for this commercial property in Sherman Oaks. It was guessed that the tank had been leaking for 3 months. 

 One of the most overlooked areas where mold grows readily is in the open interior spaces of cavity walls. Moisture can get into this space where it condenses on the interior surfaces of the wall. Unless the wall has to be opened for other purposes, mold can grow undetected for years. This is why closet mold is so common. 

There are a few different ways moisture can have access to the interior areas of cavity walls. Roof and mechanical system leaks can allow water to soak into interior surfaces. During the cooling season, air infiltrating from outside the building through the walls carries vapor that condenses on the cooler room wall surfaces. During the heating season, air moving in the opposite direction carries moisture that condenses when it comes in contact with the cooler outside wall surfaces.

Wallboard is one of the hiding spots that mold likes to grow. Especially when it is located in damp locations is particularly susceptible to mold. Roof and mechanical system leaks, groundwater, floods, condensation: all can soak the wallboard. If it was a one-time event and the water was removed in less than 48 hours with no physical damage to the wallboard, it is possible to allow the material to dry and remain in place. However, if the event has been ongoing, if there is physical damage to the wallboard or if the damage was caused by sewage water, it will be necessary to remove and discard all of the affected wallboard.

When trim is put on, it is common practice to caulk around and seal any gaps between the moulding and siding. After time and weather take their toll, some of this caulking begins to break away from the siding and can form a small crack where water can seep in. Always check your caulk.
