Common Water Damage Causes in Farber

Washing machine overflows

Drain backups and failed inlet hoses turn Farber laundry rooms into wading pools. Top-loaders on second floors cause the worst damage, soaking ceilings below. Replace rubber hoses with braided steel every five years.

Gutter overflow

Clogged gutters in Farber spill water behind the fascia instead of into the downspout. That water saturates the soffit and wall top. With the Missouri and Mississippi rivers flood regularly, a single clogged season does real damage.

Sump pump failures

When the pump dies during a storm, the pit overflows in minutes. Power outages in Farber often arrive with the same storms that fill the pit.

Roof valley failures

Valleys handle the most water on any Farber roof. Worn flashing or lifted shingles there funnel Missouri rain straight into the attic. The ceiling stain appears long after the decking has started rotting.
