Main water, mold and storm risks in Indiana
Basement and crawlspace water
Heavy rain and high groundwater flood basements, and sump pumps fail during outages.
Frozen pipes
Deep winter cold freezes pipes, especially in older homes and crawlspaces.
Severe storms
Tornadoes and straight-line winds damage roofs and siding, letting rain into homes.
River flooding
The White, Wabash and Ohio rivers flood low-lying communities during prolonged rain and snowmelt, and homes in mapped flood zones need separate flood insurance.
