What causes water, fire and mold damage in Cedar Lake

Local conditions in Cedar Lake 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.

In Cedar Lake, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• 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
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

What to do right now

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

• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

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.

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.
