I'm guessing the gutters overflowed from all the hail and a bunch of it came in.
What the fuck do I do now? We are leaving in 6 days and our renters are moving in the week after. What the fuck. Fuck.
What anyone else would do. Clean the gutters, call your ins company, let them deal with it.Quote:

The house is barely 2 years old... I wonder if I could call it in as a warranty issue? Ya know, Construction defect that the gutters CAUSED the water damage? Otherwise, my insurance deductible is $1000 that I just really can't throw away right now. I'm not sure what insurance or the builder would do to prevent it from happening again anyway.
Also, the builder in CA fucked things up and we won't be able to move in on the 22nd, as planned. Now we're looking at the 2nd week of a June. Dammit.
Sounds like an ice dam. Probably under your deductible. Post some pictures.
Not really anything to show - Just some streaks running down the interior walls from the ceiling, as far as I can tell. The damage itself is pretty minimal, but I don't want to have to worry about this down the road.Quote:

Usually with ice damming there is no actual damage to the roof system (so no leaks when it rains), and if the water is such a small amount that you are just now noticing it, you are more than likely in good shape. Dry wall, in my opinion, is kind of like a light bulb, it's either ruined, or it's fine. With small amounts of water, once it dries up, the wall still maintains its integrity. It sounds like a small amount of water, but the insulation could be soaked and that will hold water. You could call a local mitigation company like ServPro or Rainbow, or someone like that, and ask them to come over with a moisture meter and run it on the walls. That may tell you if the insulation is wet. Take all this with a grain of salt, but at most (keep in mind this is just a some what educated guess) you are looking at removing drywall and insulation for at least one wall, replacing insulation and drywall, texturing (if applicable) and painting the wall. Otherwise, I'd just put a coat of paint over it.Quote:
