Common property damage problems in Grafton

Property owners in Grafton deal with the same regional risks found throughout Wisconsin. 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.

In Grafton, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring

What to do right now

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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Grafton

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