Foundation seepage

Find your main water shutoff now, before you need it. In Marble City homes it is usually near the street meter, in the garage, or in a utility closet. Turning it takes seconds and stops plumbing-source losses cold.
Pull up area rugs and get them outside or to dry space. Rugs trap moisture against flooring and become mold farms within days in Marble City's climate.
Check adjoining rooms, not just the obvious wet spot. Water travels inside walls and under flooring. In Marble City homes, the visible damage is routinely half the real story.

Ask whether your policy covers mold remediation separately from the water loss. In Marble City, where giant hail opens roofs minutes before downpours, the mold portion can dwarf the water portion.
