What to watch for
Signals It Is Time to Ask Questions
Unusual, worsening, or repeated concerns can be easier to address once you understand the cause and the available choices.
- Stop the source only when it is safe to do so - anything that seems out of the ordinary
- Photograph visible damage if conditions allow - anything that seems out of the ordinary
- Contact your insurer promptly if you plan to file a claim - anything that seems out of the ordinary
- Leave areas with sagging ceilings or structural damage - anything that seems out of the ordinary
