Troy homes and water damage
Most Troy homes are 1960s–1990s houses with finished basements. Most Troy homes are 1960s–1990s colonials and ranches with finished basements, often with carpet, drywall and family rooms. When a sump pump fails or a sewer backs up during a heavy storm, water spreads across the lower level quickly. Many homes have original water heaters and supply lines reaching the end of their life. Many homes have basement bedrooms, offices and storage, so water spreads to valuable belongings quickly and fast extraction matters.
