Signs to Check in Eden Isle Homes
Water in a Eden Isle home shows the same signs as anywhere else in St. Tammany Parish — but in a busy household in Eden Isle 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 Eden Isle homes in St. Tammany Parish. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting. Never enter a flooded basement in Eden Isle: water near outlets, appliances or the electrical panel can kill.
Signs alone are not proof of where the water came from in a Eden Isle home in St. Tammany Parish. A damp patch in Eden Isle can come from a roof leak as well as a failed sump pump, and a musty smell can come from water sitting where it cannot be seen. The visit looks for the water itself and the full extent of it in the Eden Isle property — the affected rooms first, then the source — and the work is planned from what is found, because cleanup planned without finding the source is work that comes back. If you have just moved into a Eden Isle home, check the basement, the sump pump, the water heater and the rooms underneath them first: leaks — and the water that follows them — are often found in the first weeks in a new home in St. Tammany Parish.
