What causes water, fire and mold damage in Wilson

Property owners in Wilson 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:

• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

First steps for Wilson property owners

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Wilson

Whatever the construction type in Wilson, 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.
