Signs to Check in El Dorado Park Homes
Water damage in El Dorado Park shows the same signs as anywhere else — but it is easy to miss in a busy household.

- Clear access to the wet rooms and the areas around them — move rugs, boxes and furniture away from wet floors and walls so they can be reached without moving things on the day.
- Note when the water first appeared, what you have seen or heard, and whether it is getting worse. A short note of dates and rooms helps the visit start in the right place.
- If water is still coming in, turn off the water at the fixture or the main shut-off where you can reach it safely, and mop up standing water so floors and cabinets are not left wet.
- Do not use a household vacuum on standing water, and do not switch on electrical appliances that have got wet. Keep clear of any water near sockets or wiring.
- Keep pets and children clear of the wet rooms while the visit is under way, and keep a clear path from the door to the areas involved.
- If the property is rented, tell the landlord or property manager as well — the visit is easier to plan when the person responsible for the property knows what is happening.
