  Quick answer: Storm water runoff causes home damage by overwhelming the soil, gutters, and grading around your foundation faster than they can move water away from the residence. Instead of draining off, that water pools against the foundation, seeps through cracks and window wells, backs up through gutters onto the roofline, and works its way into basements, crawlspaces, and wall cavities—regularly without a single drop of rain actually falling inside. You don’t need a flood to end up with real water damage. Most of the calls we get after a heavy storm aren’t from homes near a creek or a floodplain—they’re from homes where the rain itself never got anywhere near the walls, but the runoff it created did. Here’s how that actually happens and what it looks like before it turns into a much bigger problem. What Is Storm Water Runoff, Exactly? Runoff is simply rain that doesn’t soak into the ground where it falls. Once soil, grass, and mulch beds reach their saturation point—which ha...

Quick answer: Mold affects indoor air quality by releasing microscopic spores, fragments, and microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) into the air, which can be inhaled by anyone inside the home. For most people, this may cause allergy-like symptoms such as coughing, congestion, itchy eyes, and headaches that seem to worsen with time spent at home. For people with asthma, respiratory conditions, or weakened immune systems, exposure may be more concerning. The musty smell associated with mold is caused by MVOCs; however, being able to smell it does not necessarily mean you are inhaling mold spores or that harmful exposure is occurring. If your family seems to catch every cold, wakes up congested, or has a cough that clears up on vacation and returns a day after getting home, mold is worth ruling out—particularly in a house that has experienced water damage, even minor damage, in the past year or two. Here's what's really happening in the air and what to do about it. Wh...
