When your property has water damage in Wyoming, what should you do? How you go about fixing the damage depends how it was caused.
Before water damage can be fixed, the water has to be stopped. If the flooding is caused by overflowing rivers or streams, the only option may be to wait until the water goes down. Luckily, this is not a common problem in Wyoming, and is only likely to happen during high snowmelt. If the water damage is being caused by a broken pipe, turn off the water to the building or unit. Seeping ground water or a leaking roof need to be fixed to stop further damage.
If your flooding was caused by runoff, and your property is located in a flood plain, check with your insurance company. Because of low likelihood of flooding, most insurance companies don’t require special flood insurance. If it is required and you don’t have it you may end up paying for the repairs yourself.
In the case of broken pipes your liability can depend on why the pipes broke. If the pipes burst after freezing and the power wasn’t out, you may have to pay for the entire repair. Most insurance, as well as lease agreements, require buildings be maintained above a minimum temperature–usually 60 degrees. If the building is properly heated and the pipes still freeze, insurance or home owners’ warantees may cover the damage. Flood companies in Wyoming can provide estimates, and are very familiar writh fixing water damage from burst pipes.
When ground seepage or a leaky roof is the cause of the water damage, the foundation or roof will need to be repaired before the flood company can fix the damage. Repairing rot or symptoms of the leak are only stop-gap measures. The underlying problem has to be fixed, or you’ll have more damage after each rain or thaw.
