Bloomington homes and water damage
Elm Heights and Prospect Hill have early-1900s homes with basements, many now rentals. East Bloomington has mostly mid-century homes and apartments. Many Elm Heights and Prospect Hill homes have been divided into student rentals, with basements, plaster walls and aging plumbing. Tenants change each year, so slow leaks can run for months before anyone reports them. Southern Indiana's karst geology means water can move quickly through the ground toward foundations after heavy rain.
