Homes in Memphis and how they leak

Midtown has bungalows and foursquares from the early 1900s on crawl spaces, with old galvanized pipe. East Memphis and the suburbs are slab and crawl-space ranch homes from the 1950s on. Tall oak trees over older neighborhoods mean roof damage in every windstorm.

Local issues that cause water damage

Freeze damage

The February 2021 and December 2022 freezes burst pipes citywide and strained the water system itself. See burst pipe cleanup.

Wind and fallen trees

Summer storms in 2023 knocked out power for days and dropped limbs through roofs.

Humidity and crawl spaces

Damp crawl spaces and long cooling seasons feed mold after leaks.

Questions from Memphis homeowners

A tree limb went through my roof. What first?

Stay clear of the damaged area, get the roof tarped, and move belongings. Photograph everything for the claim.

Why do Memphis pipes freeze so easily?

Many run through vented crawl spaces and attics with little insulation. Dripping faucets and closing crawl space vents help in a hard freeze.
