Common property damage problems in Wheatland

Local conditions in Wheatland follow the broader pattern across Iowa. Iowa's basement homes take the brunt of spring river flooding, saturated soils and sump pump failures, while winter brings burst pipes and ice dams. Severe storms with hail and straight-line winds damage roofs that then leak during the next rain. Problems tend to peak during spring flood season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• 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
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

First steps for Wheatland property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Wheatland

Whatever the construction type in Wheatland, 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.
