What causes water, fire and mold damage in Rush

Local conditions in Rush 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 Rush, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

What to do right now

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

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
