Common property damage problems in Tijeras

Tijeras 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:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Monsoon downpours that overwhelm flat roofs, scuppers and drainage
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Slab leaks that keep flooring and bottom plates damp for months
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

What to do right now

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

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

When and where damage happens in Tijeras

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.
