What causes water, fire and mold damage in Delia

The risks in Delia in Jackson County are shaped by Kansas's climate and housing. 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
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

What to do right now

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

• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
