Common property damage problems in Tecumseh

Tecumseh shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Tecumseh property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

How it works

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in Tecumseh and whether the water is still running or the fire is out.
2. We connect you with a restoration company that covers your ZIP code and has crews available. In most cases they contact you within minutes and schedule an emergency response measured in hours.
3. The crew arrives, inspects the damage, stops further loss (extraction, board-up, containment) and explains the scope, timeline and how the insurance process will work.
4. Mitigation, cleaning and drying proceed with daily monitoring, and repairs restore the property to pre-loss condition.

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.
