Local risks: Rush Hill and Audrain County

Local conditions in Rush Hill follow the broader pattern across 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• 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:

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

When and where damage happens in Rush Hill

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

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.
