Common property damage problems in Gillett

Property owners in Gillett deal with the same regional risks found throughout Arkansas. Arkansas sits in a corridor that sees heavy spring rain, river flooding along the Arkansas and Mississippi valleys and frequent tornado outbreaks. Humid summers slow natural drying, so wet building materials that are not professionally dried tend to develop mold quickly. Problems tend to peak during spring, when storms and river crests overlap, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Gillett, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

What to do right now

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water

When and where damage happens in Gillett

Crawlspace homes are common, and wet crawlspaces are the number one source of hidden mold and musty odors in this area.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
