Local risks
What causes water damage in Sheboygan
Original plumbing in older homes
52% of Sheboygan's housing predates 1960. Pipes that old narrow with rust, joints weaken and drain lines crack, so a small drip behind plaster or under a floor can go unnoticed until stains or soft spots appear.
Ice dams
Snow and cold create ice dams on older roofs.
Frozen pipes
Extended subzero stretches freeze pipes in exterior walls.
