Local risks: Ward and Lonoke County

The risks in Ward in Lonoke 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.

In Ward, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

First steps for Ward property owners

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
