Spring has arrived. The days are getting longer. The birds are returning, and the fruit trees are flowering. Pretty soon we will be cutting grass, weeding gardens, and moving our lives outside.

So now is the perfect time to do a quick assessment of your home to make sure the winter weather didn't remove any shingles, blow any siding loose, crack an exterior water spigot, or displace any crawl space vents.

Water intrusion is one of the main contributors to building damage that can decrease the value of your property. This can include structural damage, rot, termites and other unwanted pests, and microbial problems that can lead to sick building syndrome as well as the potential liability associated with a decline in indoor air quality.

Regular home inspections can show early indications of potential water intrusion. Look for peeling paint, discolored caulk, open seams, airflow in areas that should be sealed, etc. If you have water intrusion from any source, remove wet material and get the structure dried as soon as possible so the water doesn't create additional problems.

If you have experienced water intrusion and suspect there may be lingering moisture issue, call SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge at (570) 235-1646 for 24/7 emergency service.
