Signs to Check in St. George Homes
Water in a St. George home shows the same signs as anywhere else in East Baton Rouge Parish — but in a busy household in St. George it is easy to miss. Water sitting on a floor, soaked carpet, a damp patch, peeling paint, water after a burst pipe or flooding, condensation in a bathroom or attic, or water found under flooring are the signs that matter for St. George homes in East Baton Rouge Parish. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting.
Signs alone are not proof of how far water has spread in a St. George home in East Baton Rouge Parish. A damp patch in St. George can come from a roof leak as well as a burst pipe, and a musty smell can come from water sitting where it cannot be seen. The visit looks for the full extent of the water in the St. George property — the affected rooms first, then the rooms beside them and the places water travels — and the work is planned from what is found, because extraction planned without finding the full extent is work that comes back. If you have just moved into a St. George home, check the sinks, toilets, water heater and the rooms underneath them first: leaks — and the water that follows them — are often found in the first weeks in a new home in East Baton Rouge Parish.

How to Prepare for a Water Extraction Visit in St. George
A little preparation before the visit helps the St. George job start in the right place. What is needed depends on the water and the rooms in the St. George home, and it is confirmed with you before the visit; the steps below cover most homes in St. George in East Baton Rouge Parish.
- In a St. George home in East Baton Rouge Parish with standing water over a large area, stay out of the water: do not enter it and do not touch electrics in or near it.
- Before the visit to the St. George property in East Baton Rouge Parish, write down the affected rooms, when the water was first noticed, and any burst pipe, leak or flooding that came before it.
- Clear dry belongings out of the affected rooms of the St. George home in East Baton Rouge Parish where it is safe to do so, so the visit can reach the affected areas.
- Leave standing water alone in a St. George home in East Baton Rouge Parish until the visit: do not try to pump out a large area yourself, and do not use a household vacuum on standing water.
- Where you can reach it safely from dry ground in the St. George home in East Baton Rouge Parish, turn off the tap or shut-off valve for a leaking fixture.

For a leak in a St. George home, find the main shut-off before the visit if you can: it is usually near the water meter or where the main line enters the house, and knowing its place helps if the water in the St. George home in East Baton Rouge Parish keeps running — standing water left in place soaks deeper into floors and walls. Never handle electrics in or near standing water.
