First steps after a leak in Laurel
In Laurel, 17% of homes are mobile or manufactured, against 8% statewide, and the first steps differ in those homes. The main shutoff is usually under the home where the water line comes up, or at the meter. Close it, then switch off the breakers for the wet area. Check under the floor for water pooling on the belly wrap, and photograph it along with the damage inside. Move furniture, papers and electronics to a dry room. Owners of the 14% of homes kept for seasonal use should have a neighbor look in after storms. The particleboard subfloor in many manufactured homes swells fast, which turns a short leak into floor water damage repair, so call for water removal right away. Calls are picked up 24/7.
