Local risks: Cedar Grove and Franklin County

Cedar Grove shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor

What to do right now

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Cedar Grove

Whatever the construction type in Cedar Grove, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
