What causes water, fire and mold damage in Allenspark

Allenspark shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Colorado homes deal with freeze-thaw cycles that burst pipes and crack foundations, heavy wet spring snow, some of the most damaging hail in the country along the Front Range, and wildfire risk in foothill communities. Finished basements are common, which is where much of the state's water damage ends up. Problems tend to peak during winter freezes and the spring hail and snowmelt season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

Before the crew arrives

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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 Allenspark

Whatever the construction type in Allenspark, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

The coldest stretches of winter produce a surge in frozen and burst pipe calls, and the spring thaw brings the groundwater problems that follow. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
