Local risks: Cookeville and Putnam County

Cookeville shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Tennessee sees some of the most intense rainfall and flash flooding in the Southeast, along with tornado outbreaks, ice storms and humid summers that keep crawlspaces damp. Much of the state's housing sits over crawlspaces or partial basements where moisture problems start. Problems tend to peak during spring storm season and winter ice, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

First steps for Cookeville property owners

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Cookeville

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. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
