Dealing with problems from the storm on your rental property
Here in Southern California, seeing water coming from the
sky is a welcome change, but with all good things come some bad and water
damage from the storms we have had is a real issue.
The first place that water damage is going to show up is the
roof.
In my business of Property
Management in Orange County Ca. When I get a call about a roof leak is
really makes me worry. I know from my experience as a contractor, that is a
roof is leaking in one spot, and then it probable has other bad areas also.
Remember, the shingles on the top of the roof is not the real waterproofing.
The paper under the shingle is what really keeps your roof dry, so if there is
a leak, it means the paper, Which is a thick black felt paper, is damaged or
deteriorated.
A roof leak usually means the roof is going to need to be replaced
if not right away, real soon. Trying to find the spot that a roof may be
leaking is not always easy. Water can travel, so it may enter in one area of
the roof, but not drip down in that same area. It may crawl on the rafter until
it falls off and that is where you see the water damage.

Windows are also a common place to see leaks. If a window is
older, the weather proofing may be damaged and water will get in. Those older
windows should be replaced for not just the leaks, but they also are letting
cold air in, and warm air out.
Drainage problems are another area of concern when the big
rains come. You need to go around your home and make sure that water falls away
from the home. Putting drains in areas that have been problems can solve the
long term problem. If concrete has been poured improperly and the rain drains
toward the home, you can saw cut out a section of that concrete and install a
drain.
