St. Cloud homes and water damage
Southside has older homes near campus. Westwood has mid-century homes. Many Southside homes near St. Cloud State are early- and mid-1900s houses with basements, plaster walls and aging plumbing, and many are rentals. Tenants change each year, so slow leaks can run for months before anyone reports them. Newer homes have finished basements with sump pumps, where a pump failure during snowmelt can soak carpet and drywall. Many homes also have basement bedrooms and storage, so fast extraction matters when water spreads.
