Water damage & mold help in Jefferson City, MO
Jefferson City, Missouri's capital, sits on bluffs above the Missouri River. In May 2019, an EF3 tornado tore through the city at night, damaging hundreds of homes and businesses, and the Missouri River flooded North Jefferson City the same spring. The 1993 flood was even worse. Ice storms, hail and older homes with basements add to the risk.
