Sprinkler System Leaks or Breaks

A broken underground irrigation line soaks the soil around the house, and that water can seep inside.

Sewer Line Backups or Blockages

Tree roots, debris or an overloaded city sewer can push contaminated water back up into the house.

Foundation Cracks and Seepage

Saturated soil presses water through cracks in foundation walls or the slab, soaking lower floors.

Roof Leaks From Damaged Shingles

Missing, cracked or aging roofing lets rain into the attic and then the ceilings below.
