A tenant fixture, vacant rental leak or weather event can affect both the unit and adjacent property. Water can move into flooring, wall bases, fixtures and tenant belongings. Jobs involving tenant caused water damage, vacant rental leak and rental property flood cleanup need a check beyond the visible puddle.
