What causes water, fire and mold damage in Dewey

Property owners in Dewey deal with the same regional risks found throughout Oklahoma. Oklahoma's violent spring storm season brings tornadoes, giant hail and flash floods, while ice storms and hard freezes burst pipes in winter. Most homes sit on slabs over expansive clay, which makes slab leaks and foundation movement common. Problems tend to peak during april through june severe-weather season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Dewey, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• 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
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Dewey property owners

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• 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

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. 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.
