Signs to Check in East Austin Homes
Standing water in East Austin shows the same signs as anywhere else — but it is easy to miss in a busy household. Water on the floor, a damp patch on a ceiling or wall, carpet that stays wet, flooring that warps, a musty smell, or a stain that keeps growing are the signs that matter. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting.
Signs alone are not proof of the cause. A damp patch can come from a roof leak as well as a burst pipe, and a musty smell can come from damp materials as well as from a leak that is still running.

If you have just moved in, or brought used appliances home, check the kitchen, the laundry room and the water heater first: water extraction is often found in the first weeks in a new home.

- Clear access to the rooms and areas involved — move furniture, rugs and boxes away from wet floors and damp walls where you can do so safely — so the visit can start without moving things on the day.
- Note when the problem started, what you have seen, and whether it is getting worse. A short note of dates and signs helps the visit start in the right place.
- If water is still coming in, turn off the water supply for that fixture or the main shut-off for the home where you can reach it safely, and mop up standing water so floors are not left wet.
- Move valuables, electronics and soft furnishings off wet floors and out of damp rooms where you can do so safely, and take photographs of the damage before anything is moved.
- Do not step in standing water near electrical outlets or appliances, and do not switch on wet electrical items. If the water is near the electrical panel, leave the area and call for help.
- If the problem is in a rental, tell the landlord or property manager as well — the visit is easier to plan when the person responsible for the property knows what is happening.
If water is still coming in and you cannot find the shut-off for that fixture, the main shut-off for the home is usually near the water meter or where the main line enters the house — knowing where it is before the visit helps if the water gets worse.
