Signs to Check in Ama Homes
Water in a Ama home shows the same signs as anywhere else in St. Charles Parish — but in a busy household in Ama it is easy to miss. Water on a basement floor, a damp patch, peeling paint, a musty smell, a sump pump that has stopped, or white mineral deposits on a basement wall are the signs that matter for Ama homes in St. Charles Parish. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting. Never enter a flooded basement in Ama: water near outlets, appliances or the electrical panel can kill.
Signs alone are not proof of where the water came from in a Ama home in St. Charles Parish.

- Do not enter a flooded basement in the Ama home in St. Charles Parish, and do not handle electrics in or near standing water — if water is near electrics, stay out and say so on the call. If water is still coming in, turn off the shut-off valve for that fixture where you can reach it safely from dry ground.
- Note which rooms in the Ama property in St. Charles Parish hold standing water, when you first noticed it, and whether a sump pump failure, heavy rain, a leak or a drain backup came before it. A short note of rooms and times helps the visit to the Ama home start in the right place.
- Move dry belongings, rugs and furniture out of the affected rooms in the Ama home in St. Charles Parish where you can do so safely, so the affected areas are clear for the visit.
- Do not mop or pump out a large area of standing water in a Ama home in St. Charles Parish before the visit, and do not use a household vacuum on standing water — leave the water to the visit.
