Common property damage problems in Ogilvie

Property owners in Ogilvie 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 Ogilvie, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

Before the crew arrives

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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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 Ogilvie

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.
