Water damage risk by season in Missouri
Missouri sees severe storms and tornadoes from March through June, and heavy spring rain floods the Missouri and Mississippi rivers and their tributaries. Flash flooding along creeks in the Ozarks can be sudden. Winter ice storms and cold snaps freeze pipes, and hail damage to roofs is common in spring and early summer.
Licensing, permits and insurance in Missouri
Missouri doesn't license general contractors statewide. St. Louis County, Kansas City and other cities have local licensing.

FEMA has issued 48 major disaster declarations in Missouri for weather and fire events since 2000, and Missouri policyholders filed 17,751 flood insurance claims through the National Flood Insurance Program in that time. Most homeowners policies exclude flooding from outside water, so those claims come from separate flood policies.
