Wall LeakThanks so much to Jay Markanich ! I had a tenant email me a picture showing some water damage in the middle of a bedroom wall.  This wasn’t on the ceiling, it was right smack in the middle of the wall!  I was stumped on what it could be, but I figured there was either a plumbing leak, damaged siding or a roof leak.  However, I didn’t want to call three tradesmen out to assess the situation because that would mean three different service call fees to charge to my owner.

 

I emailed Jay and sent him the picture.  I told him my theories, and asked for his expert opinion on what was most likely.  He graciously answered me, we emailed back and forth a few times, and he was able to determine that it was probably the roof.  I sent out Baker Roofing, and they found the leak.  Thanks to Jay I was able to save my owner a little money and get the problem solved quickly!

Dawn Brenengen Hopefully the home will not start a crop of black mold in between the walls. Nice post!

Dawn, I would suggest that Jay has had to deal with a number of drips as a home inspector, so he is the right guy to turn to; but Jay himself, is no drip, but a Rainmaker® to br proudly called a friend in deed by Rainers®.

 

Jay is what you come to appreciate about ActiveRain®.  We all appreciate Jay.

Sandy Padula & Norm Padula, JD, GRI Indeed! The water was a quick, one time event that dried quickly, so we're not too worried.  Thank goodness!

Fred Cope Jay's knowledge was so spot on, I'd highly recommend him for a buyer's inspection if I was in his area.  That's what was so great about him.  He helped out in an instant, even though I'm not in his market.  SO awesome of him!
