What causes water damage in Bellevue
Mixed-age plumbing
Bellevue'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.
Hail and severe storms
Nebraska is one of the most hail-prone states. Hail and wind damage roofs and windows, and rain that gets in afterward stains ceilings and soaks insulation and walls.
River flooding
The Platte, Elkhorn, Loup and Missouri rivers flood after heavy rain or rapid snowmelt. In March 2019, flooding across eastern and central Nebraska damaged thousands of homes, farms and roads.
Seasonal risks, licensing and FEMA history across the state are on the Nebraska page.
