What causes water, fire and mold damage in Hammond

The risks in Hammond in St. Croix County are shaped by Wisconsin's climate and housing. 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 Hammond, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring

First steps for Hammond property owners

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

• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

When and where damage happens in Hammond

Every property type in Hammond 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.
