Local risks: Gresham and Shawano County

Gresham 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.

In Gresham, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

What to do right now

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

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Gresham

Whatever the construction type in Gresham, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
