What causes water, fire and mold damage in Cushing

Cushing shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• 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
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

First steps for Cushing property owners

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

• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

When and where damage happens in Cushing

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.
