Local risks: Valley Center and Sedgwick County

Local conditions in Valley Center 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

First steps for Valley Center property owners

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

• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

When and where damage happens in Valley Center

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.
