What causes water damage in Missouri
River flooding
The floods of 1993 and 2019 covered towns along both rivers for weeks.
Flash flooding
St. Louis set a rainfall record in July 2022 that flooded homes and basements across the metro area.
Tornadoes and hail
Severe storms damage roofs statewide; Joplin in 2011 is the extreme case.
Homes and how they are built
St. Louis is a brick city, with century-old homes on stone foundations and combined sewers. Kansas City has older frame houses with basements and clay soil that shifts. The Ozarks have many lake homes and crawl spaces.
When it happens
Severe storms and flooding peak March through July. Freezes run December through February.
Rules and insurance in Missouri
Missouri has no statewide contractor license; cities and counties handle licensing.
In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Missouri homeowners
Why do St. Louis basements back up?
Older parts of the city and county have combined sewers. In extreme rain, as in July 2022, they overflow into basements.
Can a stone foundation be made dry?
It can be managed with tuckpointing, drainage, a sump pump and a dehumidifier, but stone foundations are rarely fully watertight.
Is flash flood damage covered?
Surface water entering the home is flood damage and needs a flood policy. Sewer backup needs its own endorsement.
