Local risks: Ashland and Clay County

Ashland shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Alabama combines a long, humid summer with Gulf Coast tropical systems and a spring severe-weather season that brings tornadoes and wind-driven rain. Crawlspace homes are common across the state, and crawlspace moisture is one of the most frequent sources of hidden mold growth. Problems tend to peak during spring storm season and the late-summer tropical season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Ashland, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

What to do right now

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Ashland, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

Hurricane season brings the largest losses, but year-round humidity and heavy summer rain keep crews busy every month. Cooking fires are the leading cause year-round, with electrical and heating fires rising in the cooler months. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
