What causes water, fire and mold damage in Maplesville

Property owners in Maplesville 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor

Before the crew arrives

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

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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Maplesville

Every property type in Maplesville 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.
