Water damage can indeed occur in some unexpected areas of your home. Here are a few places you might not immediately think to check:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1-<\/strong> Around the Chimney<\/strong>: Water can pool around compromised masonry and flashing, leading to damage in shingles, panels, and sub-roofing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2-<\/strong> Under House Siding<\/strong>: Seams between panels and unsealed spaces within your siding can allow moisture to enter, causing damage to the underlying structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3-<\/strong> Around Windows<\/strong>: Rain can seep into walls around old or improperly installed window frames, leading to rot and damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
