Signs to Check in Lake Mathews Homes
Water in a basement in Lake Mathews starts with the signs — standing water on the basement floor, water seeping in at the wall and floor joint, damp patches on a basement wall, or wet carpet and stored items — and water can travel under floors and along walls before it shows. Standing water on the floor, damp patches or bubbling paint on a wall, a sump pump that runs constantly or not at all, and water in a crawl space are the signs that matter. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting. Never enter a flooded basement to check: submerged outlets and panels make standing water in a basement an electrocution risk.
Signs alone are not proof of the cause. A wet floor can come from a roof leak or a leak from a room above as well as from water coming through a basement wall, and water can sit out of sight in a crawl space or under a floor. The visit looks for the cause — where the water came from and the rooms and materials it has reached — and the work is planned from what is found, because work done without finding the source is work that comes back.

If you have just moved in, check the basement — or the crawl space — first: water is often found in the first weeks in a new home.
