Local risks: Lakeville and Dakota County

Lakeville 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.

In Lakeville, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• 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
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring

Before the crew arrives

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

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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Lakeville

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.
