Common property damage problems in Buchanan

Buchanan shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. North Dakota's brutal winters freeze pipes and build ice dams, and the spring melt regularly pushes the Red River and other waterways out of their banks into basements. Summer brings hail and severe storms. Problems tend to peak during winter and spring flood season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Buchanan, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

First steps for Buchanan property owners

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
• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

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 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.
