Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Jefferson City, Missouri Area

What Makes Jefferson City, Missouri Different

Jefferson City sits on bluffs above the south bank of the Missouri River, with North Jefferson and the river bottom across the water. In May 2019 a tornado tore through the city at night, the same spring that high water on the Missouri covered low ground north of the river. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.

Wears Creek and other creeks cut through the hills, and heavy storms send water rushing into low streets and basements. Spring and summer storms also bring hail and strong wind, and a damaged roof can leak for months before a stain appears. Have the roof checked after any big storm.

Winters bring hard freezes and ice storms, and pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawlspaces freeze and split. Most homes have basements, and a sump pump with a battery backup prevents a lot of damage. Many homes near downtown and the Capitol were built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.
