What causes water damage in Arkansas

River and flash flooding

The Arkansas River flood of 2019 hit Fort Smith through Little Rock, and hill-country creeks rise quickly in thunderstorms.

Tornadoes and hail

Spring storms damage roofs statewide, including the March 2023 tornado through Little Rock.

Ice storms and freezes

Winter ice brings long power outages, and unheated houses freeze.

Homes and how they are built

Homes are mostly slab or crawl space. Northwest Arkansas has grown fast, with many houses built since 2000; Little Rock and the Delta have older housing with aging pipes.

When it happens

Severe storms peak March through May. Ice and freeze risk runs December through February.

Rules and insurance in Arkansas

Residential contractors are licensed by the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board.

In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Arkansas homeowners

What should I do if the power is out during a freeze?

Shut off the main water valve and open faucets to drain the lines. A drained pipe can't burst.

Does insurance cover tornado water damage?

Yes, when rain enters through storm damage to the roof or walls. Tarp the roof quickly to limit it.

Is river flooding covered?

Only by a flood policy. Homeowners insurance excludes rising water.
