Local risks: Cleveland and Le Sueur County

The risks in Cleveland in Le Sueur County are shaped by Minnesota's climate and housing. Minnesota's subzero winters are hard on plumbing, and frozen supply lines, ice dams and attic condensation are the most common winter losses. Spring snowmelt and summer thunderstorms then push water into the basements that nearly every home has. Problems tend to peak during january through march, and again at spring thaw, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Cleveland property owners

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

• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Cleveland

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. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
