Southeast Auburn Along Kersey Way
Kersey is southeast Auburn's newer side. Kersey Way SE runs off Auburn Way South past Bowman Creek Elementary, and the subdivisions along it are mostly two-story homes on modest lots. In houses like these, water damage usually starts upstairs. A laundry room over a garage or a bathroom over the kitchen leaks into the floor framing, then the ceiling below. Washer hoses, ice-maker lines and water heater connections installed when the homes were built are the parts most likely to let go as they age.
Getting Help in Kersey
Shut off the water at the main if a line is still running, then call. The company will want to read both floors: the one where the water started and the ceiling under it.
Calls from here usually involve ceiling water damage, wet drywall and floors, basement and crawlspace water, water removal, flood cleanup or the whole restoration and mitigation job. One number covers all of it.
A small stain under an upstairs laundry room is worth a moisture reading before it becomes a large one.
