What we see in South Gate Ridge

Older homes in South Gate Ridge often have aging copper, galvanized, or cast-iron plumbing and water heaters at the end of their life. South Gate Ridge is inland from the Gulf, so wind and heavy rain are the main storm threats: lifted shingles, broken windows, and water through soffits and sliders.

In South Gate Ridge, mold usually starts where air does not move: behind furniture on an exterior wall, inside a closet next to the AC air handler, or around a condensate line that has been dripping.
