Common property damage problems in Edgewood

Edgewood shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. New Mexico's monsoon storms produce flash floods and roof leaks on flat-roofed homes, wildfires and post-fire flooding threaten mountain communities, and high-elevation winters freeze pipes. Dry conditions most of the year mean many leaks go unnoticed until flooring or drywall fails. Problems tend to peak during monsoon season and winter cold snaps, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Edgewood, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Monsoon downpours that overwhelm flat roofs, scuppers and drainage
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Slab leaks that keep flooring and bottom plates damp for months
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

Before the crew arrives

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

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

When and where damage happens in Edgewood

Slab-on-grade construction is common, which means supply lines run beneath the concrete and slab leaks can go unnoticed until flooring buckles or the water bill jumps.

The coldest stretches of winter produce a surge in frozen and burst pipe calls, and the spring thaw brings the groundwater problems that follow. 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.
