Water damage & mold help in Arkansas
Arkansas homeowners deal with river flooding, tornadoes, ice storms and humidity. The Arkansas River flooded at record levels in 2019, and severe storms regularly cross the state in spring. Older crawlspace homes and rural properties on wells and septic systems add their own water and sewage risks.

Inspect the roof after hail, clear gutters, and keep a plan for tornado warnings.
Before winter
Insulate exposed pipes and crawlspace lines, since ice storms can cut power for days.
