Local risks: Offutt Afb and Sarpy County

The risks in Offutt Afb in Sarpy County are shaped by Nebraska's climate and housing. Nebraska's severe storms bring damaging hail, tornadoes and heavy rain that floods basements, and the Platte and Missouri rivers can overrun their banks during spring runoff. Winter cold reliably produces burst pipes in homes that lose heat. Problems tend to peak during spring and early summer, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

What to do right now

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

When and where damage happens in Offutt Afb

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

The calendar matters here: burst pipes cluster in the coldest weeks of winter, while basement and roof leaks follow the heavy rains of spring and summer. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
