Common property damage problems in Gunter

Gunter 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• 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
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• 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

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

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.
