St. Paul homes and water damage
Summit Hill and Macalester-Groveland have Victorian and early-1900s homes with basements, plaster walls and limited insulation, which makes ice dams and frozen pipes common. Many homes on the West Side and near Como have been updated, but original plumbing is still common.
Ice dams
Heat loss through older roofs creates ice dams that leak into walls and ceilings.
Frozen pipes
Extended sub-zero cold freezes pipes in exterior walls.
Mississippi River flooding
Spring floods, like 2001 and 2019, cover low areas such as Harriet Island and parts of the West Side.
Basement water
Snowmelt saturates soil and seeps into older foundations.
Older roofs
Many older homes have aging roofs that leak during freeze-thaw cycles in early spring.
Older sewer laterals
Older homes have clay sewer laterals that crack and fill with roots, causing basement backups.
Summer storms and hail
Severe summer storms bring hail and wind that damage roofs.
Finished basements
Many homes have finished lower levels, so seepage or a sump failure damages living space.
