Heavy rain, a failed water heater, or a plumbing leak can leave a garage slab under water. Cardboard storage, wall bases, wood shelving, and the shared wall with the house can absorb water. Cases include garage floor flooding, garage water heater leak, and garage water damage.
If a ceiling drips after an upstairs plumbing failure, shut off the supply when safe. Technicians then inspect both levels and start the dry-out.
