What causes water damage in Kansas

Hail and tornadoes

Kansas is in the core of the hail belt, and roof damage followed by rain is the classic claim.

Basement water

Most homes have basements, and intense thunderstorms overwhelm sump pumps and window wells.

Freezes

Wind-driven cold bursts pipes in exterior walls and crawl spaces.

Homes and how they are built

The Kansas City suburbs in Johnson County are mostly homes built since the 1960s with finished basements. Wichita and Topeka have older housing; rural homes are often on wells and septic systems.

When it happens

Hail and tornado season peaks April through June. Freezes run December through February.

Rules and insurance in Kansas

Kansas has no statewide general contractor license; cities and counties license contractors. Roofing contractors must register with the state Attorney General.

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

Questions from Kansas homeowners

Do roofers have to be registered in Kansas?

Yes. Roofing contractors must hold a registration certificate from the Kansas Attorney General. Check it before signing, especially after a hailstorm.

How soon after hail should I check for leaks?

Right away and again after the next rain. Hail bruises shingles, and leaks can start weeks later.

Water came in through the window well. Is that covered?

Surface water is usually excluded as flooding. Keep wells covered and drains clear.
