Common property damage problems in Santa Fe

Santa Fe 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• 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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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

When and where damage happens in Santa Fe

Many homes sit on concrete slabs, so leaks under the floor show up as warm spots, damp carpet or cracked tile rather than a visible drip.

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.
