Common property damage problems in Saint Paul

The risks in Saint Paul in Marion County are shaped by Oregon's climate and housing. Western Oregon's long rainy season saturates crawlspaces and finds every roof and window flashing flaw, while the east side of the Cascades deals with hard freezes and wildfire. Smoke damage from large summer wildfires affects communities statewide. Problems tend to peak during the october-to-april rainy season and late-summer fire season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Plumbing connections and water heaters shaken loose by seismic movement
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• 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 Saint Paul property owners

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Saint Paul

Whatever the construction type in Saint Paul, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
