The property’s roof suffered significant structural compromise due to water intrusion, with multiple breaches creating pathways for further damage. Thermal imaging revealed extensive mold growth on interior walls and ceilings, exacerbating the issue. Water also seeped into windows, causing further damage to frames and surrounding areas. In addition, the HVAC system itself was compromised, requiring costly repairs.
