Gregory, South Dakota Restoration Services

When water is spreading across a floor, smoke has filled the house or mold has shown up behind a wall, you need a crew in Gregory today, not a callback next week.

What causes water, fire and mold damage in Gregory

The risks in Gregory in Gregory County are shaped by South Dakota's climate and housing. South Dakota's cold winters burst pipes and build ice dams, spring melt and ice jams flood river towns, and summer severe storms bring large hail. Basements are standard, so groundwater intrusion is the most common water damage call. Problems tend to peak during winter and spring runoff, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Every property type in Gregory has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
