What causes water, fire and mold damage in Jamestown

Property owners in Jamestown deal with the same regional risks found throughout Colorado. 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:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• 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:

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

How it works

1. You call (888) 755-3821 and tell us what you are dealing with and your Jamestown address.
2. Your call is routed to a local restoration company with availability. They confirm details, give an arrival window and tell you what to do in the meantime.
3. On arrival, technicians assess the damage with moisture meters and cameras, stabilize the property and walk you through a written scope before work proceeds.
4. Mitigation, cleaning and drying proceed with daily monitoring, and repairs restore the property to pre-loss condition.

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Jamestown

Whatever the construction type in Jamestown, 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.
