One call reaches local companies that cover Clearwater and Sedgwick County for water, fire and mold restoration, any hour of the day.

Local risks: Clearwater and Sedgwick County

Property owners in Clearwater deal with the same regional risks found throughout Kansas. Kansas sits squarely in Tornado Alley, and wind, hail and the heavy rain that accompanies supercell storms cause most storm-related water damage. Expansive clay soils that dry and crack in drought and swell when wet stress foundations and slab plumbing, and winter freezes are hard enough to burst pipes. Problems tend to peak during spring and early summer severe weather, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• 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
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• 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
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

Before the crew arrives

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

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

When and where damage happens in Clearwater

Most homes here have basements, and that is where the majority of water damage ends up, whether from sump failures, foundation seepage or a leak upstairs that ran down through the floor.

The coldest stretches of winter produce a surge in frozen and burst pipe calls, and the spring thaw brings the groundwater problems that follow. 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.
