While renovating a bedroom I removed old paneling and found a slow water leak that had been hidden for years The drywall was soft and mold had started forming What looked like a cosmetic update turned into a plumbing and remediation job
Although frustrating it reminded me that renovations often uncover hidden issues Budgeting extra for surprises is essential and small leaks left untreated can cause huge damage
Final thought: The unseen is often the most costly Have you ever found a hidden issue during renovation
