Local risks: Meriden and Laramie County

Property owners in Meriden deal with the same regional risks found throughout Wyoming. Wyoming's extreme cold and wind make frozen pipes the leading water loss, with spring snowmelt, summer hail and wildfire season following. Remote properties benefit from quick stabilization while a crew is on the way. Problems tend to peak during winter and spring runoff, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Meriden, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring

Before the crew arrives

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Meriden

Basements are standard in this part of the country, so finished lower levels, sump pumps and floor drains are the first things a crew checks.

The coldest stretches of winter produce a surge in frozen and burst pipe calls, and the spring thaw brings the groundwater problems that follow. 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.
