What causes water, fire and mold damage in Mulvane

Local conditions in Mulvane follow the broader pattern across 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:

• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

What to do right now

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

• 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
• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

When and where damage happens in Mulvane

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.
