Wichita ZIP 67207 is about eleven kilometres east of the central point this service measures from. Calls from the code are answered on the same 24/7 line, and the phone team begins by confirming the address and asking where the water is and what it has touched.
A water loss in the code is usually one of a small set of problems: a supply line that has split, a water heater that is leaking onto a garage floor, a roof leak after a storm, or a drain that has come back up into a lower room. Each is worked on in the same order, from the source outward, with the readings and the record kept at every visit.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
The centroid of ZIP 67207 is about 11.2 km east of the central point this site uses, which places it among the further codes from the centre. A crew coming from the middle of the city will take a longer drive to reach the code than to reach the codes close to it. The drive does not change what happens on arrival.
The phone team describes the process on the call and does not promise an arrival time. A crew is sent as soon as one is free. While you wait, shut the water off if you can, move valuables out of the wet area and photograph the water before it is disturbed.
A house in the code can take in water from any of the usual sources, and the crew asks which one it is before it starts. A water heater in a garage or utility room is a frequent cause of wet floors, and so is a dishwasher or washer whose hose has failed behind the cabinet.
Lower rooms can also take in water through a floor drain that backs up, or through a sump that has stopped in heavy rain. The crew checks the lowest points first, because that is where water collects, and it works up from there.
The Halloween Flood in October 1998 brought up to eleven inches of rain across the area, and the Arkansas River reached record flood levels, according to the National Weather Service office in Wichita. That was a city-wide event, and buildings across the city were affected by it, including those in this code.
The Wichita-Valley Center Floodway, built in 1959 and known as the Big Ditch, moves floodwater around the city. It protects the city as a whole, but it does not stop water from reaching an individual building when local drainage is overwhelmed, so a loss from heavy rain is still read building by building.
The record should begin with the time the water was found and the time it was stopped. It should show the source, the photographs before and after each stage, the readings on each visit and the equipment in each room. The scope you approve should list each material and the reason it was kept or removed.
