Homes in Cheyenne and how they leak
The Avenues and the Rainsford district have homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s with basements and older plumbing. Sun Valley and the east side are mid-century ranch houses, and newer subdivisions spread north. Most houses have basements, and many families connected to F.E. Warren Air Force Base are renters or recent arrivals.
Local issues that cause water damage
Hail and wind
Southeast Wyoming is one of the most hail-prone areas of the country. Broken shingles, skylights and siding let the next rain into the attic and walls. See storm and roof leak damage.
Flash flooding
On August 1, 1985, about six inches of rain fell in a few hours, and the flood along Crow Creek and Dry Creek killed twelve people. Short, intense storms still flood basements and window wells.
Frozen pipes
Arctic fronts drop temperatures far below zero, and strong wind strips heat from exterior walls and crawl spaces.

Questions from Cheyenne homeowners
Hail damaged my roof in Cheyenne but I see no leak. Should I still act?
Yes. Have the roof inspected and report it to your insurer promptly. Bruised or cracked shingles may not leak until the next storm, and policies set time limits for claims.
Water poured in through my basement window well. How do I prevent it?
Keep window wells clear of debris, make sure they drain, fit covers, and slope the soil away from the foundation. After a flood, the wall and floor below the window need to be dried and checked.
I rent near the base and a pipe burst. Who pays?
The landlord is responsible for the building and its plumbing. Your own belongings are covered only if you carry renters insurance.
