Signs to Check in Montara 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. The visit looks for the cause — the source of the water and the rooms and materials it has reached — and the work is planned from what is found, because a repair made without finding the cause is a repair that comes back. If you have just moved in, check under sinks, around toilets and behind washing machines first: water damage is often found in the first weeks in a new home.

Preparation makes the visit quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the problem and the rooms involved, and it is confirmed with you before the visit. The general steps below apply to most homes in Montara.
- 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.
If water is leaking and you cannot find the shut-off for that fixture, the main shut-off for the home is usually near the water meter or where the main line enters the house — knowing where it is before the visit helps if the leak gets worse.
