Caldwell has pressurized municipal irrigation systems, but not every wet foundation is a municipal irrigation failure. Private sprinkler connections, grading and rainfall must be considered separately.
Need to report a water-damage problem? If you need help evaluating water damage, call +1 208-296-7559 or use the contact form. Requesting contact does not guarantee immediate dispatch or confirm a contractor appointment. If a situation presents immediate danger, contact appropriate emergency services first.
Why might water collect by a foundation when sprinklers are off?
Possible sources to check: Private sprinkler line; Hose bib; Grading; Soil saturation. These are possibilities, not a substitute for tracing the real water path.
Visible clues to record: Water pooling while sprinklers off; Persistent soggy soil; Crawlspace dampness. Note when each clue appears, whether it follows weather or plumbing use, and whether the pattern is getting worse.
What observations can distinguish irrigation, plumbing and runoff?
- Confirm the actual source rather than assuming the visible symptom identifies it
- Record what the resident observed and when conditions changed
- Use inspection and relevant professional input before selecting a repair
