What causes water, fire and mold damage in Rhinelander

Property owners in Rhinelander 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 Rhinelander, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

Before the crew arrives

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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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 Rhinelander

Every property type in Rhinelander 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.
