Local risks: Fort Rucker and Dale County

Property owners in Fort Rucker deal with the same regional risks found throughout Alabama. 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 Fort Rucker, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

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

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Fort Rucker

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

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.
