Signs to Check in Lakeview Homes

What the signs do not tell you on their own is where the water came from, and in a Lakeview property in Orleans Parish the source decides the work.

New arrivals to Lakeview 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.
