Common property damage problems in Cotulla

Property owners in Cotulla deal with the same regional risks found throughout Texas. Texas has every major cause of water damage: Gulf hurricanes and extreme rainfall on the coast, flash floods in the Hill Country, hail and tornadoes across the north, and winter freezes that burst pipes in homes built for heat. Slab foundations over expansive clay make slab leaks common, and long cooling seasons produce air-conditioning condensate overflows. Problems tend to peak during spring storms, hurricane season and occasional winter freezes, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

What to do right now

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

• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Cotulla

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.
