Local risks: Everest and Brown County

Property owners in Everest 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.

In Everest, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

First steps for Everest property owners

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

• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• 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 Everest

Basements are standard in this part of the country, so finished lower levels, sump pumps and floor drains are the first things a crew checks.

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.
