What causes water, fire and mold damage in Osawatomie

Property owners in Osawatomie 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:

• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

First steps for Osawatomie property owners

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

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

When and where damage happens in Osawatomie

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.
