The financial implications are also significant. Depending on the damage, repairs like this can cost anywhere from $500 to $30,000. However, recent estimates from city officials, contractors, home builders, and insurance agencies indicate the cost for these Kuna homeowners will be between $5,000 and $10,000. It's essential to note that while some insurance policies cover weather-related damages, others may not, potentially leaving residents with a substantial repair bill to settle.

New homeowners, in particular, are urged to check for these issues that might not be immediately clear. Timely detection and resolution can spare residents thousands of dollars, avoiding the unpleasant consequences associated with water damage in crawlspaces.
