Common property damage problems in Mineral Point

Mineral Point 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

What to do right now

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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Mineral Point

Every property type in Mineral Point has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
