Tuscany: Block Notes
- Built: a large south Meridian community in three sections, Tuscany, Tuscany Village and Tuscany Lakes, with pools and its own elementary school
- Under the floor: mostly crawlspaces under newer two-story and single-level homes
- Nearest canal or drain: laterals and drains running through and around the community
- What usually fails first: upstairs bathroom and laundry leaks, appliance lines, garage lines in a freeze
Three Sections in South Meridian
Tuscany is one of the big communities on Meridian's south side, built in three sections, Tuscany, Tuscany Village and Tuscany Lakes, with several pools, a clubhouse and an elementary school inside it. The houses are recent enough that most of the plumbing is PEX, the flexible plastic supply line that handles a freeze better than copper but still fails at fittings and at the appliances it feeds. What you see is usually sudden: a washer hose, a fridge line or a toilet supply that gives way and covers a floor in minutes. What it usually means is a lot of clean water in a short time, much of it already under the flooring. What happens next is extraction first, then readings to find how far it went.
From Tuscany Kitchens and Crawlspaces
Even in a newer house, water from a burst appliance line can reach the crawlspace in minutes. Expect the company to check under the floor even if the leak was upstairs.
The pages that fit most Tuscany calls: ceilings, walls and drywall, floors and carpet, crawlspaces and basements, frozen and burst pipes, or the full restoration and mitigation job.
Braided steel washer hoses and a drip pan under the washer are inexpensive and stop a lot of laundry-room calls.
