Why Morrow Homes Suffer Water Damage

Sprinkler line breaks

Underground sprinkler lines in Morrow crack from freeze or root pressure. The break runs every cycle, saturating soil against the foundation for months. Unexplained lush patches and high water bills give it away.

Discharge lines that freeze shut in Morrow winters send pumped water right back into the pit. The pump runs, the pit overflows, the basement floods. Buried or insulated discharge lines solve it.

Window well flooding

Basement window wells in Morrow collect water faster than their drains clear it. The result presses against the window and finds every seal weakness. Wells need covers and clear drains before storm season.

Roof valley failures

Valleys handle the most water on any Morrow roof. Worn flashing or lifted shingles there funnel Georgia rain straight into the attic. The ceiling stain appears long after the decking has started rotting.
