Local risks: Edgerton and Johnson County

The risks in Edgerton in Johnson 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.

In Edgerton, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• 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
• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

What to do right now

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

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

When and where damage happens in Edgerton

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.
