Why this call
What is going wrong in a Dundalk house?
Dundalk’s small houses, many with basements, sit on the harbor side of the county. The heater is often in the basement, so a hose failure is a cellar flood under a small first floor, not a garage bay. Low first floors also take water that is not a heater at all. A basement full of heater water and a low door that took outside water need different words or the crew brings the wrong plan.
- A basement heater under a small Dundalk house.
- The first floor still occupied while the cellar is under water.
- Water that came in a low door and never touched the heater.
Say basement heater or water through a low door. Harbor weather in the street is not automatically the heater. If the ceiling failed from the roof, say roof so that repair can be scheduled with the dry-out.
The houses
What gets wet in Dundalk?
Dundalk is early industrial-suburb housing: small houses, many with basements, close to the harbor side of the county. The heater is often in the basement. A burst hose fills that basement and stays there. The lots are small and the houses are repetitive, which makes the wet room predictable once the caller says basement or first floor.
The water
How does water usually get into a Dundalk house?
Indoor water from plumbing is the job. Coastal storm water near the harbor edge is outside water. Say basement or first floor, and whether a roof leak is part of it.
