Local risks
What causes water damage in Greenville
Supply lines and appliances
Newer Greenville homes rarely have old-pipe problems. Their most common leaks are braided supply lines, water heaters, washing machine hoses, dishwashers, refrigerator lines and AC condensate lines.
Leaks between units
About 67% of occupied homes in Greenville are rented, and many are apartments or condos. A leak in one unit often reaches the units below, so landlords, associations and each tenant's insurer are involved.
Crawl space moisture
Clay soil and humidity keep crawl spaces damp; standing water after storms leads to mold and wood rot.
