Common property damage problems in Valley

The risks in Valley in Chambers County are shaped by Alabama's climate and housing. 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• 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
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Valley

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.
