Common property damage problems in Plattsburg

Property owners in Plattsburg deal with the same regional risks found throughout Missouri. 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:

• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

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
• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

When and where damage happens in Plattsburg

Whatever the construction type in Plattsburg, 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.
