Before the crew arrives in Knightdale
Knightdale sits near Garner, and its homes are new: Census figures show only 8% were built before 1980. Many residents are new too, with 14% of households moving in since 2021. If that is you, find the main shutoff now. In newer homes it is usually in the garage, near the water heater or in a crawl space access.
When a leak starts, close it and switch off the wet rooms' breakers. Photograph the source and the floor before cleanup, and move rugs and electronics to a dry room. About 36% of homes are rented, so tenants should send photos to the landlord. NOAA climate normals show 77 nights a year at or below 32 degrees, enough to split a line in an exterior wall.
