Frozen & Burst Pipe Damage
Pipes split while frozen and leak when they thaw. The water arrives on the warm day, often days after the cold that caused it.

Vacant & Second-Home Water Damage
A leak in an occupied house is found in hours. In an empty one it runs until the next visit, and that time is the size of the loss.
Learn more - Priority
Snowmelt & Runoff Flooding
A winter of snow melts in a few weeks. Frozen or saturated ground sends it toward the lowest point, which is often a basement.

Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage
Snow melts over the warm roof and refreezes at the eave. The ridge of ice holds water back until it finds its way inside.

Sewage & Septic Backup Cleanup
A septic system that cannot drain - frozen lines, thawing ground - sends water back to the lowest drain in the building. It is sewage whatever it looks like.

What fails in Model
Serving Model and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Across the 81059 ZIP code area, which takes in Model, the median home was built in 1979 and 63.5 percent of the stock was standing before 1990. Across that area, many homes are mobile homes and many houses are old, and one heated by a stove stays warm only while someone is there to keep the fire burning.
Climate & seasonal risk
The freeze season in Model runs 5 months of the year, with December lows at a normal 18.4 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 12.65 inches in a normal year, 2.13 fall in July, the wettest month, both figures recorded at TRINIDAD PERRY STOKES AP, 9.2 miles away. December brings the coldest nights here, and a house left over the holidays with its stove cold meets them with no heat at all.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Wood heat, the most common kind in the area, which stops as soon as the fire goes out during an absence
- Mobile homes, a large share of the area's homes, with supply lines under the floor
- Old houses on scattered rural properties, where no neighbor may see a problem for days
