Water damage & mold help in Springfield, MO
Springfield sits on the Ozark Plateau in southwest Missouri. Severe spring storms bring hail, tornadoes and flash flooding, and the area's karst geology includes sinkholes and fast-rising creeks. Ice storms, like January 2007, bring trees down and cut power for days, freezing pipes.

Springfield homes and water damage
Rountree, Phelps Grove and Midtown have 1900s–1940s homes with basements and aging plumbing. Southern Hills and newer areas have mostly 1960s–2000s homes with basements and crawlspaces. Many Rountree and Phelps Grove homes are 1920s bungalows with basements, plaster walls and hardwood floors. Newer homes on the south side often have finished basements, so a failed sump pump or water heater can soak carpet, drywall and stored belongings across the lower level.
Hail damage
Spring hail damages roofs and gutters, causing leaks with the next rain.
Flash flooding
Heavy rain floods creeks like Jordan Creek and Wilson's Creek quickly.
Ice storms
The January 2007 ice storm cut power for days, freezing pipes.
Basement seepage
Rocky karst soils and heavy rain let water into basements.
Tornadoes
Spring storms bring tornado damage across southwest Missouri.
Sinkholes and karst
Karst geology leaves sinkholes and caves under parts of the city, and water can move quickly toward foundations.
Frozen pipes
Cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces.
Older plumbing
Older homes have galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains.
