Signs to Check in Harvey Homes
Water damage in a Harvey home shows the same signs as anywhere else in Jefferson Parish โ but in a busy household in Harvey it is easy to miss. Standing water on a Harvey floor, a damp patch on a ceiling, a musty smell, a floor that buckles, water coming in during heavy rain, a burst pipe, or sewage indoors are the signs that matter for Harvey homes in Jefferson Parish. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting.
Signs alone are not proof of the cause in a Harvey home in Jefferson Parish. A damp patch in Harvey can come from a roof leak as well as a pipe leak, and a musty smell can come from damp that has been sitting where it cannot be seen. The visit looks for the full extent of the water in the Harvey property โ the wet rooms first, then the rooms beside them and the places water travels โ and the work is planned from what is found, because drying planned without finding the full extent is work that comes back. If you have just moved into a Harvey home, or brought used fixtures home, check the sinks, toilets, water heater and the rooms underneath them first: water damage is often found in the first weeks in a new home in Jefferson Parish.
