Signs to Check in The Colony Homes
Water in a basement in The Colony 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. Basements are uncommon in most of California, so the below-floor space to check first in The Colony is usually a crawl space, not a basement. 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.
