Signs to Check in Fat City Homes
In Fat City, the early signs of water damage are the same ones worth knowing anywhere in Jefferson Parish: standing water, a damp patch, a musty smell, a buckling floor, water coming in when it rains hard, a burst pipe, or sewage indoors. Any one of them in a Fat City 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 clears up.
What the signs do not tell you on their own is the cause, and in a Fat City property in Jefferson Parish the cause decides the work. A damp patch can sit under a roof leak or a pipe leak, and a musty smell can mean damp has been sitting out of sight for weeks.

New arrivals to Fat City should check sinks, toilets, the water heater and the rooms underneath them in the first weeks, since water damage often shows up soon after moving in or bringing used fixtures home.
