Local risks: Townsend and Oconto County

Property owners in Townsend 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

First steps for Townsend property owners

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Townsend, 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.
