Signs to Check in Treme Homes
Water in a Treme home shows the same signs as anywhere else in Orleans Parish — but in a busy household in Treme 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 Treme homes in Orleans 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 Treme home in Orleans Parish. A damp patch in Treme 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 Treme 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 Treme 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 Orleans Parish.

How to Prepare for a Water Extraction Visit in Treme
Preparation makes the visit to a Treme home quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the water and the rooms involved in the Treme property, and it is confirmed with you before the visit. The general steps below apply to most homes in Treme, Orleans Parish.
- Do not enter standing water in the Treme home in Orleans Parish, and do not handle electrics in or near it — if water is near electrics, stay out and say so on the call. Sewage is Category 3 black water: avoid all contact with it and do not try to clean it up yourself.
- Note which rooms in the Treme property in Orleans Parish hold standing water, when you first noticed it, and whether a burst pipe, a leak or flooding came before it. A short note of rooms and times helps the visit to the Treme home start in the right place.
- Move dry belongings, rugs and furniture out of the affected rooms in the Treme home in Orleans Parish where you can do so safely, so the affected areas are clear for the visit.
- Do not mop or pump out a large area of standing water in a Treme home in Orleans Parish before the visit, and do not use a household vacuum on standing water — leave the extraction to the visit.
- If water is still coming into the Treme home in Orleans Parish, turn off the tap or the shut-off valve for that fixture where you can reach it safely from dry ground.
- Keep pets and children clear of the affected areas in the Treme home in Orleans Parish while the visit is under way, and keep a clear path from the door to the rooms involved.
If water is still leaking in the Treme home and you cannot find the shut-off for that fixture, the main shut-off is usually near the water meter or where the main line enters the house — knowing where it is before the visit helps, since a leak left running is what keeps water coming into the Treme home in Orleans Parish. Shut water off only where you can reach the shut-off safely from dry ground — never wade into standing water to do it.
