What causes water, fire and mold damage in New London
The risks in New London in Waupaca 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.
The calls crews receive most often from this area include:
- 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
- Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
- Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
- Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
- Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
- Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
- Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
- Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring
- Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
First steps for New London property owners
The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:
- 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
- Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
- 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
- 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

When and where damage happens in New London
Whatever the construction type in New London, 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.
