Local risks: Dripping Springs and Hays County

Dripping Springs shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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:

• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
