Heat loss through older roofs creates ice dams that push meltwater into walls and ceilings. Severe summer storms bring hail and wind that damage roofs.
Older homes have limited insulation, which leads to ice dams, and basements with original drain tile and stone or block foundations. Southwest and Northeast Minneapolis are full of 1910s–1940s stucco and bungalow homes with full basements. Many were insulated poorly or not at all when built, which is why ice dams are so common, and basements were often finished later without waterproofing.
Licensing in Minnesota: Minnesota requires residential building contractors and remodelers to be licensed by the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI). Check the license on DLI's site.

Other risks in Minneapolis
Frozen pipes
Extended sub-zero cold freezes pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces.
Spring snowmelt
Melting snow saturates soil and floods basements.
Finished basements
Many Minneapolis homes have finished lower levels, so snowmelt seepage or a sump failure damages flooring, drywall and belongings.
Aging clay sewer laterals
Older homes have clay sewer laterals that crack and fill with roots, causing basement backups.
