Call Now (833) 502-4258Freezing weather and burst pipes
Hard freezes are one of the most common causes of crawl space water damage in South Dakota. Pipes in exterior walls, attics, crawl spaces, and unheated garages can split, and the leak often starts only when the pipe thaws. The American Red Cross advises keeping the heat at 55°F or higher when you are away and letting faucets on exterior walls drip during extreme cold.
Severe storms and roof damage
Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in South Dakota tear off shingles and break windows, letting rain into attics and walls. Tarping the opening quickly limits how far water spreads, and wet insulation is usually replaced.
Hail-damaged roofs
Hail is common in South Dakota. Bruised or cracked shingles may not leak until the next heavy rain, so slow ceiling stains after a hail season are worth checking with a moisture meter.
Basements and below-grade water
Many homes in South Dakota have basements, often finished with drywall and carpet. Sump pump failures, sewer backups, and seepage after heavy rain are frequent sources of crawl space water damage, and finished basements usually need drywall cut above the water line to dry the wall cavity.
- Groundwater and poor grading
- Plumbing leaks under the house
- Broken vapor barriers
- High outdoor humidity
