Two-Story Plans and Attic Mechanicals
In Kensington Trails, water damage tends to come down from above. Two-story plans put showers and laundry rooms over living space, and the air handler sits in the attic over the bedrooms. When a shower valve weeps inside the wall, a tub surround's caulk fails or the AC pan overflows, water works into the wall cavity or the ceiling before anyone sees it. A soft spot in the drywall next to a shower, or a drip from a ceiling vent in July, is the usual first clue.
Homes in Kensington Trails
