Local risks: Maryland Heights and St. Louis County

The risks in Maryland Heights in St. Louis County are shaped by Missouri's climate and housing. 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.

In Maryland Heights, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

First steps for Maryland Heights property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Maryland Heights, 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.
