What causes water damage in Indiana

Basement and crawl space water

Central and northern Indiana homes rely on sump pumps; southern Indiana has more crawl spaces that stay damp.

River flooding

The White, Wabash and Ohio rivers flood after long rain; June 2008 flooded much of central and southern Indiana.

Storms and freezes

Tornadoes and hail damage roofs in spring, and cold snaps burst pipes in winter.

Homes and how they are built

Indianapolis has older neighborhoods with basements and large rings of newer slab and crawl-space subdivisions. Smaller cities have aging housing with galvanized pipe and cast iron drains.

When it happens

Severe storms and flooding peak March through June. Freezes run December through February.

Rules and insurance in Indiana

Indiana has no statewide general contractor license; cities and counties license contractors. Plumbers are licensed by the state.

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

Questions from Indiana homeowners

Why is there water in my crawl space after rain?

Usually poor grading, short downspouts or a high water table. Standing water under the house needs pumping, a vapor barrier and a drainage fix.

Does my policy cover a sump pump failure?

Only with a sump or water backup endorsement. It is one of the most common gaps in Midwest policies.

How do I find a licensed contractor?

Contractor licensing is local in Indiana, so check with your city or county building department.
