The pro near Cape Girardeau.

MO

For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Cape Girardeau's median home dates to 1975, and about six in ten were built before 1980. The city sits along the Mississippi, where winter freezes, spring storms, and expansive clay soil all leave marks. Basements are common, so foundation cracks, damp walls, and sump failures are familiar. Hail and wind add roof and siding work in storm season, and hard water shortens appliance life. Three ZIP codes cover roughly 40,800 people, with older in-town housing and later growth on the outskirts.

What that means for a call

Hard freezes and older housing are a difficult combination. In Cape Girardeau, where the median home was built in 1975 and about 60% predate 1980, a winter call often starts with a pipe on an exterior wall or a shutoff that has not moved in years.

Local watch-outs

  • Know where the main water shutoff is before a pipe freezes. During a deep freeze, open the cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let a faucet trickle.
  • After hail, check the roof, gutters, and skylights from the ground before climbing up. Note the date and take photos before anything is repaired.
  • Check the basement or crawlspace after heavy rain. Most seepage starts at a wall joint, a window well, or a downspout that dumps too close to the foundation.
  • Hard water shortens the life of water heaters, faucets, and shower valves. Regular descaling or a softener can reduce the scale, but it will not fix a failed part.
