What causes water, fire and mold damage in Osage City

The risks in Osage City in Osage 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Osage City

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.
