What causes water damage in Fargo
Hidden leaks in newer construction
Newer Fargo houses often hide water heaters, air handlers and laundry on upper floors or in attics, so a failed fitting or condensate line can soak ceilings and walls below before anyone notices.
Leaks between units
About 56% of occupied homes in Fargo 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.
Red River flooding
Spring melt raises the Red River.
