Common property damage problems in Rock River

Rock River shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

How it works

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in Rock River and whether the water is still running or the fire is out.
2. We connect you with a restoration company that covers your ZIP code and has crews available. In most cases they contact you within minutes and schedule an emergency response measured in hours.
3. On arrival, technicians assess the damage with moisture meters and cameras, stabilize the property and walk you through a written scope before work proceeds.
4. Mitigation, cleaning and drying proceed with daily monitoring, and repairs restore the property to pre-loss condition.

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
