Signs to Check in Estelle Homes
In Estelle, 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.

New arrivals to Estelle 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.
