Local risks: Lanesboro and Fillmore County

Property owners in Lanesboro deal with the same regional risks found throughout Minnesota. 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 Lanesboro, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• 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
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

First steps for Lanesboro property owners

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

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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Lanesboro

Whatever the construction type in Lanesboro, 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.
