Water damage & mold help in Missouri
Missouri sits where the Missouri and Mississippi rivers meet, and river flooding is a recurring risk. Tornadoes are too: the 2011 Joplin tornado was one of the deadliest in U.S. history. Basements in St. Louis, Kansas City and Springfield take on water in heavy storms, and freezes damage pipes.

Main water, mold and storm risks in Missouri
River flooding
The Missouri and Mississippi rivers flood low-lying areas during prolonged rain and snowmelt.
Tornadoes and hail
Severe storms damage roofs, exposing homes to rain.
Basement water
Heavy rain and older sewer systems flood basements in St. Louis and Kansas City.
Ice storms
Winter ice storms coat power lines and trees across Missouri, causing outages that stop sump pumps and leave homes without heat, which leads to frozen pipes.

Missouri questions
Is flood insurance worth it in Missouri?
If you're near a river or in a flood zone, yes. Homeowners policies exclude flood, and flash flooding can affect areas outside mapped zones.
Do Missouri contractors need a license?
Licensing is local. Check with your city or county, and ask for insurance.
