During Hurricane Gustav we started experiencing puddles of water forming
under the carpet.

Is the house on a slab? My guess is that the water is seeping under the
slab and from there out on the carpet.

The gutters probably release the rain water too close to the perimeter
of the house, or the grading is wrong. There is a possibility that the
problem could start in a neighboring yard, if yours is lower.


Whatever the reason, my guess is that the water accumulates instead of
flowing away from the house.

As you have found water damage under the carpet, this probably happens
at every major downpour.
