Roof leaks after storms

Window well flooding

Basement window wells in Neptune 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.

Dishwasher supply failures

The braided line behind the dishwasher lives under pressure 24/7. When it lets go in a Neptune kitchen, water sheets across hardwood and into the subfloor before anyone notices. Most failures happen in lines older than eight years.

Washing machine overflows

Drain backups and failed inlet hoses turn Neptune laundry rooms into wading pools. Top-loaders on second floors cause the worst damage, soaking ceilings below. Replace rubber hoses with braided steel every five years.

Clogged gutters in Neptune spill water behind the fascia instead of into the downspout. That water saturates the soffit and wall top. With thousand-year rains hit twice a decade, a single clogged season does real damage.
