Local risks
What causes water damage in Sioux Falls
Appliance and fixture leaks
With 40% of homes built since 2000, Sioux Falls's water damage usually comes from what's connected to the plumbing: water heaters reaching the end of their life, washer hoses, toilet fill valves and fridge lines.
Frozen and burst pipes
Subzero cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, garages and farm buildings. The leak usually appears when the pipe thaws, so check under sinks and in the basement after a cold spell.
Many neighborhoods, many causes
Sioux Falls spans 13 ZIP codes, so the causes vary by neighborhood: older streets see more pipe and drain failures, newer subdivisions more appliance and supply-line leaks, and low-lying areas more storm water.
