St. Joseph homes and water damage
Museum Hill and Cathedral Hill have Victorian mansions with basements. Many Museum Hill and Cathedral Hill homes are large Victorian mansions with stone basements, plaster walls and hardwood floors that need careful drying. Older basements were never meant to be fully waterproof, and heavy rain or a failed water heater can soak stored belongings. Homes near the Missouri River face flood risk. Much of the rest of the city has early- and mid-1900s homes with basements, aging water heaters and galvanized supply lines, and floor drains tied into older sewers that back up during heavy storms.
