Common property damage problems in Kirtland Afb

Property owners in Kirtland Afb deal with the same regional risks found throughout New Mexico. 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 Kirtland Afb, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Monsoon downpours that overwhelm flat roofs, scuppers and drainage
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Slab leaks that keep flooring and bottom plates damp for months
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

What to do right now

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
