First steps after a leak in Lugoff
Census figures show 13% of homes in Lugoff are mobile or manufactured, and in those the main shutoff is often under the home where the supply line comes up, or at the meter near the road. Close it, then turn off the breaker for every wet room. Water under a manufactured home can soak the insulation and belly wrap before it shows inside, so check under the skirting. Photograph the leak, the floors and any sagging belly wrap before anything is moved, and carry furniture, rugs and electronics to a dry room. With 76 nights a year at or below 32 degrees, lines under a home can freeze when the skirting is open, so burst pipe cleanup in winter often starts beneath the floor. Floor water damage repair in a manufactured home may mean replacing swollen particleboard under the floor covering. Call once the water is off. The phone is answered 24/7.
