What causes water, fire and mold damage in Aurora

Local conditions in Aurora follow the broader pattern across Indiana. Indiana sees heavy spring rain, river and flash flooding, tornado outbreaks and hard winter freezes, with lake-effect snow in the north. Basements and crawlspaces are both common, so groundwater seepage and sump failures are frequent causes of damage. Problems tend to peak during spring flooding season and winter, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• 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
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

Before the crew arrives

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Aurora

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

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. 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.
