Common property damage problems in Genoa

Genoa shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Wisconsin's hard winters freeze pipes and build ice dams, spring melt and intense summer rain flood basements, and many homes have aging sump systems that fail exactly when they are needed most. Problems tend to peak during winter and the spring thaw, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring

First steps for Genoa property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Every property type in Genoa has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
