What causes water, fire and mold damage in Hopkins

Hopkins 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Hopkins property owners

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Hopkins, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
