Local risks: Stilesville and Morgan County

Stilesville 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:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• 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
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

Before the crew arrives

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

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Stilesville

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.
