Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water removed before it travels further into the building - the first step after any failure, and the one that shows how far the water went.

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 Nunn
Serving Nunn and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
With a median build year of 1968 and roughly two thirds of its homes (65.6 percent) older than 1990, most of the plumbing in Nunn was laid out in the late 1960s, by that era's idea of where a pipe was safe from the cold. In a town of owners there is no landlord checking in, so an old house left for a winter trip depends entirely on its own heat and on whoever the owner asks to look in.
Climate & seasonal risk
A pipe in Nunn faces freezing nights 7 months of the year, down to a normal 13.5-degree low in December, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; May carries 2.9 of the 14.69 inches in a normal year, rain recorded at NUNN 1.2 ENE 1.6 miles away and temperatures at NUNN 7 NNE 6.7 miles away. Nights normally fall below freezing by October, at 31.9 degrees, and are still at 29.6 in April, so an owner's winter trip can start or end in freezing weather.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Only three renting households in the whole town, so a December trip leaves each house to its owner and whoever gets a key
- The 51 pre-1940 houses, whose lines tend to hug the walls facing the October-to-April cold
- Freezing nights from October into April, a long season for an empty house
