Common property damage problems in Herndon

Herndon shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Kentucky's hollows and river valleys are highly exposed to flash flooding, and the state also sees tornado outbreaks, ice storms and humid summers that keep crawlspaces damp. Hillside homes with crawlspaces and basements are especially prone to groundwater intrusion. Problems tend to peak during late winter and spring, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

What to do right now

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

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

When and where damage happens in Herndon

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
