Local risks: Ozark and Franklin County

The risks in Ozark in Franklin County are shaped by Arkansas's climate and housing. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

First steps for Ozark property owners

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

• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Ozark

A large share of local houses are built over crawlspaces, which trap humidity and give mold a foothold on floor joists and subfloor.

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.
