Signs to Check in Guttenberg Homes
Water in a Guttenberg basement does not always announce itself — a slow leak can sit behind a finished wall for weeks, a damp patch can grow a little at a time, and a floor can warp before anyone notices.

A sign points at a problem; it does not name the cause, so the visit traces the water back to its source before any work is planned.

- Clear the way to the basement — move furniture, rugs, boxes and stored items away from wet floors and damp walls where you can do so safely — so the visit can start without moving things first.
- Take valuables, electronics and soft furnishings off wet floors and out of the damp basement where you can do so safely, and take photographs of the damage before anything is moved.
- Sewage water is not something to clean up yourself; keep out of the room and leave it for the visit. Keep children and pets out of the affected room.
- If the problem is in a rental home, let the landlord or property manager know as well — the visit is easier to plan when the person responsible for the property knows what is happening.
