Don't ignore the signs.
Even small signs of water damage can become larger problems if left unchecked. In Los Altos, local conditions can cause water damage to worsen quickly. Repeated freezing and thawing can place stress on roofing, plumbing, and exterior building materials.
Signs you should not ignore
