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.

Lawrence's housing is a genuine mix: median build year 1988, with about 39 percent of homes predating 1980, so older houses and newer ones sit close together. Hard freezes, snow, and hail all show up in a typical year, and expansive clay moves foundations and driveways as the ground wets and dries. Basements are common, which makes sump pumps and foundation drainage recurring topics. With only about 44 percent of households owning, rental housing carries a lot of the maintenance load. Roughly 97,000 people live across five ZIP codes in Douglas County.

What that means for a call

Hard freezes and older housing are a difficult combination. In Lawrence, where the median home was built in 1988 and about 39% 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.
