What causes water damage in Bloomington
Mixed-age plumbing
Bloomington's housing spans many decades, so leaks come from both ends: corroded original pipes in older homes and failed supply lines and appliances in newer ones.
Apartments and shared walls
Renters occupy about 65% of Bloomington'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.
Sump pump failure
Storm power outages stop sump pumps in basements.
