5 Problems You Shouldn’t Ignore When It Comes to Your Home

Some of us know that there are at least one or two things that are wrong with the house we live in. Maybe there is a broken rail on the porch or a closet door with a broken handle. Most of the smaller issues we choose to ignore, but there are some issues that you shouldn’t ignore. Here are the top five problems you shouldn’t ignore when it comes to your home.

Seeing Mold Spots on the Walls or Ceilings 

If you spot mold on the ceiling or walls, you must take care of it immediately. Mold can cause some severe health problems and if not treated, it can lead to permanent health conditions. You need to check to see if any moisture is leaking in through cracks in the walls, windows, or roof. Hire a roofing repair company in Sterling Heights so they can see where the damage is coming from and provide you with an estimate of how much it will cost to solve the problem.

Paint Peeling on the Inside or Out

Paint peeling is a problem that needs to be addressed. If the paint is peeling off in rough squares, that can be a sign that lead-based paint was used and can be detrimental to your health if accidentally ingested (Lead Poisoning). Call in a professional if the paint is starting to crack and chip and have it redone.

Water Around the House days After it Rains

Standing water in your yard is a sign of poor drainage. When you see standing water collecting around the house, improper grading may be the problem. This can wreak havoc with water seeping into your basement or moisture issues. If you have standing water in your yard, make sure you get it checked out.

Cracks in pavement, Walls, or Floor

If you spot any fractures in the walls or floors, you need to get it checked out as soon as possible. These types of findings are suspect of foundation problems. Other tell-tale signs are a broken chimney or doors that don’t stay closed properly. Foundation issues can cost thousands of dollars but can be a little bit cheaper if you catch it early.
