What causes water, fire and mold damage in American Fork

Property owners in American Fork deal with the same regional risks found throughout Utah. Utah's Wasatch Front homes commonly have finished basements that take on water during spring snowmelt and from failed water heaters and supply lines, while winter freezes burst pipes and summer brings wildfire smoke and flash floods in canyon country. Problems tend to peak during spring snowmelt and winter, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In American Fork, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

First steps for American Fork property owners

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

• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

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.

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.
