KC climate effects
KC averages 5-7 severe hail events per year, primarily April-July, with hailstone sizes commonly 1-2 inches. Peak: April-June, secondary peak October-November. Average annual precipitation is 39 inches, with 18 inches of snow. These weather patterns drive water damage restoration demand cycles directly.

Basement is the dominant foundation type (~80% of homes) — driving demand for waterproofing, sump pumps, and foundation work. For water damage restoration, this means a steady replacement-cycle demand wave from homes built in the 1970s and 1980s.
