What causes water, fire and mold damage in Lower Brule

Property owners in Lower Brule deal with the same regional risks found throughout South Dakota. 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.

In Lower Brule, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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

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.
