Signs to Check in Avondale Homes
In Avondale, the early signs of basement water damage are the same ones worth knowing anywhere in Jefferson Parish: water on a basement floor, a damp patch, peeling paint, a musty smell, a sump pump that runs constantly or not at all, or a floor drain that backs up. Any one of them in a Avondale home in Jefferson Parish is worth a call, and two or more together are a strong reason to describe what you found rather than waiting to see whether it dries up.
What the signs do not tell you on their own is where the water came from, and in a Avondale property in Jefferson Parish the source decides the work. A damp patch can sit under a roof leak or a failed sump pump, and a musty smell can mean water has been sitting out of sight for days.

New arrivals to Avondale should check the basement, the sump pump and the water heater in the first weeks, since leaks — and the water that follows — often show up soon after moving in.
