What causes water, fire and mold damage in Grand Lake

The risks in Grand Lake in Grand County are shaped by Colorado's climate and housing. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• 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
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

When and where damage happens in Grand Lake

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

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.
