Common property damage problems in Wichita

Property owners in Wichita 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:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

Before the crew arrives

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

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• 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
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

From your call to a crew at the door

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in Wichita and whether the water is still running or the fire is out.
2. Your call is routed to a local restoration company with availability. They confirm details, give an arrival window and tell you what to do in the meantime.
3. On arrival, technicians assess the damage with moisture meters and cameras, stabilize the property and walk you through a written scope before work proceeds.

When and where damage happens in Wichita

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.
