There is a particular dread Glen White residents know well, the sound of dripping where no drip should be. Maybe it is the water heater in the garage, maybe a supply line under the kitchen sink.

What Causes Water Damage in Glen White

Storm-driven roof loss

West Virginia wind events peel shingles and flashing off Glen White roofs in minutes. The rain that follows has a direct path inside. Thousand-year rains hit twice a decade, so post-storm roof checks are essential here.

Sump discharge freeze

Discharge lines that freeze shut in Glen White 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.

Condensation in attics

Poor attic ventilation in Glen White lets warm moist air condense on cold roof decking. Drip by drip, it soaks insulation and ceilings all winter. It looks like a roof leak but the roof is innocent.

AC drain line clogs

In Glen White's long cooling season, condensate lines run constantly. Algae clogs the trap, the pan overflows, and ceilings below get a steady drip for weeks. Annual line flushes prevent nearly all of these.

Refrigerator ice maker lines

That thin plastic or copper line to the ice maker is a notorious leaker. Glen White kitchens with the fridge against an exterior wall see more failures, and the water runs under flooring for weeks.
