Common property damage problems in Kindred

Local conditions in Kindred follow the broader pattern across North Dakota. 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 Kindred, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

Before the crew arrives

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

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.
