Local risks: Blountsville and Blount County

Blountsville 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• 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
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Blountsville

Every property type in Blountsville has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
