Residents were forced to move into their basement due to moisture problems.
Could your home -- a cherished investment -- be rendered unlivable by recurring water leakage? A family in an Atlanta Golfing Community found out the hard way. Their large hard-coat stucco house, only 6 years old, was suffering from major moisture damage.
At the outset of the problem, the contractor believed that the windows were the source of the intrusion. The family had the contractor replace all the windows at tremendous cost -- $12,000 each. Furthermore, the walls and ceilings were all being repaired on a regular basis. This heavy maintenance had no effect upon the leakage.
Eventually, so much constant repair work was required that the contractors had to move in, forcing the family to live in their renovated basement and out of harm's way. Despite the careful and thorough efforts of these contractors, nothing could be done to make the house safe and livable again. The newly replaced windows began to rot out just as the old ones had, so they were replaced--a second time! Astoundingly, none of the contractors were ever able to find the source of the moisture entry in all of their extensive repair work.
The manufacturer of the home put them on the right track by requesting a MoistureVision inspection. Once MoistureVision was able to locate the problem, the house was able to be repaired once and for all...allowing the family to move out of their basement and back into a dry, worry-free home.
