What causes water damage around Ghent
Water damage around Ghent usually starts with tropical storms and heavy summer thunderstorms, high humidity that lets mold start quickly on wet materials or crawlspace moisture and leaking supply lines under raised floors. Storm season is longest from June through November, and humid weather means wet materials dry slowly without equipment.
Humid air slows drying, which makes structural drying and dehumidification an important part of any job. Wind, hail, heavy rain and ice can open a roof, and ceiling and roof leak water damage explains what comes next.
