Common property damage problems in Red Feather Lakes

Local conditions in Red Feather Lakes follow the broader pattern across 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.

In Red Feather Lakes, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Red Feather Lakes property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Red Feather Lakes

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.
