What causes water, fire and mold damage in Maple Hill

Property owners in Maple Hill 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

Before the crew arrives

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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

How it works

When and where damage happens in Maple Hill

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.
