What causes water, fire and mold damage in Netawaka

Property owners in Netawaka 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• 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
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

First steps for Netawaka property owners

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
• 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
• 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
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Netawaka

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.
