What causes water, fire and mold damage in Kim

The risks in Kim in Las Animas 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.

In Kim, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

What to do right now

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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Every property type in Kim has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
