Dishwashers, refrigerator ice maker lines and sink supply lines can leak slowly under cabinets for weeks. By the time you notice, cabinet bases and subfloor may be swollen.

Homes from the late seventies through the mid nineties may have gray polybutylene supply pipe, which is prone to failure. On a slab home, a pressurized leak under the concrete can soak flooring and baseboards from below. Signs include warm spots on floors, buckled wood or laminate and unusually high water bills. We locate and repair the slab leak, often by rerouting the line overhead. Then we dry the slab and remove damaged flooring before replacement.

Foundation Water Damage Mitigation in Richmond, KY

Water intrusion around or under a home's foundation, whether pier and beam or slab, can lead to costly structural issues. We assess and limit water damage affecting foundations, addressing concerns like soil expansion and contraction. Much of Kentucky has karst terrain with limestone bedrock and sinkholes, which can slow down sewer line and drainage work. Our restoration plans account for local soil conditions, preventing long-term foundation problems that can be costly to repair. Proper grading and drainage are also discussed to prevent future issues.

Winter freezes can cause pipes to burst, leading to significant water damage in Richmond homes. On the coldest nights, letting faucets drip and opening cabinet doors on outside walls can head off a burst pipe. Our services include repairing frozen, burst pipes and restoring the resulting water damage. We are familiar with common pipe materials, from copper to PEX, and the challenges of cold weather incidents. Swift action is key to limiting damage from burst pipes, which often occur in attics or crawl spaces.

Many homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage but not long-term leaks. We provide detailed photos, moisture logs and estimates to support your claim.
