Local risks: Sheboygan and Sheboygan County

The risks in Sheboygan in Sheboygan 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• 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
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• 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
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
