Local risks: Watertown and Carver County

The risks in Watertown in Carver County are shaped by Minnesota's climate and housing. 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:

• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

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

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Watertown, 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.
