Local risks: Borden and Clark County

Property owners in Borden deal with the same regional risks found throughout 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

First steps for Borden property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Borden

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

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.
