Signs to Check in Eagle Rock Homes

Standing water, a wet carpet, a damp patch on a ceiling, a musty smell, a burst pipe, or water coming in from outside are the signs that matter. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting.
Signs alone are not proof of the cause. A damp patch can come from a roof leak as well as a pipe leak, and water under a floor can come from a leak two rooms away.
