Local risks
What causes water damage in Fayetteville
Appliance and fixture leaks
With 44% of homes built since 2000, Fayetteville's water damage usually comes from what's connected to the plumbing: water heaters reaching the end of their life, washer hoses, toilet fill valves and fridge lines.
Apartments and shared walls
Renters occupy about 58% of Fayetteville's homes. In multi-unit buildings, water from one unit travels through floors and shared walls, so report leaks to the landlord or association in writing right away.
Severe storms
