Local risks: Union and Franklin County

Property owners in Union 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:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• 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
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Union property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

How it works

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in Union and whether the water is still running or the fire is out.
2. We connect you with a restoration company that covers your ZIP code and has crews available. In most cases they contact you within minutes and schedule an emergency response measured in hours.
3. On arrival, technicians assess the damage with moisture meters and cameras, stabilize the property and walk you through a written scope before work proceeds.
4. Mitigation, cleaning and drying proceed with daily monitoring, and repairs restore the property to pre-loss condition.

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Union

Whatever the construction type in Union, 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.
