What Causes Water Damage in Barnwell Homes

Appliance Malfunctions and Failures

Water heaters, washing machines and dishwashers leak or overflow when hoses wear out or parts fail.

Missing, cracked or aging roofing lets rain into the attic and then the ceilings below.

Faulty or Clogged Gutters

Gutters that overflow or pull loose dump water right beside the foundation, where it can seep in.

Foundation Cracks and Seepage

Saturated soil presses water through cracks in foundation walls or the slab, soaking lower floors.

Burst or Leaking Supply Lines

High water pressure, corrosion or a loose fitting can make a pipe fail and release water fast.

The longer water sits, the deeper it soaks and the more likely mold becomes, which widens the job.
