Homes in St. Louis and how they leak
Red brick homes from the 1880s to the 1930s fill the city: two-story single-family houses, two-family flats and four-family flats, all with stone foundations and basements. Many have flat roofs behind parapets. County suburbs are mostly post-war ranch homes with basements.

Questions from St. Louis homeowners
Is basement backup covered by my policy?
Only with a sewer or water backup endorsement. After the 2022 flood, many homeowners found they did not have one.
Can brick walls be damaged by water?
Soft old brick absorbs water and can spall if it freezes while wet. Interior plaster on brick dries slowly and needs monitoring.
