Local risks: Iberia and Miller County

Iberia shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Missouri sees heavy rain, flash floods and major river flooding along the Missouri and Mississippi, along with tornadoes, hail and winter ice storms. Basements are standard in much of the state, so groundwater seepage and sump failures are everyday calls. Problems tend to peak during spring storm and flood season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

When and where damage happens in Iberia

Whatever the construction type in Iberia, 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. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
