What causes water, fire and mold damage in Des Arc

Property owners in Des Arc deal with the same regional risks found throughout Arkansas. Arkansas sits in a corridor that sees heavy spring rain, river flooding along the Arkansas and Mississippi valleys and frequent tornado outbreaks. Humid summers slow natural drying, so wet building materials that are not professionally dried tend to develop mold quickly. Problems tend to peak during spring, when storms and river crests overlap, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Des Arc property owners

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

• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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

When and where damage happens in Des Arc

A large share of local houses are built over crawlspaces, which trap humidity and give mold a foothold on floor joists and subfloor.

The calendar matters here: burst pipes cluster in the coldest weeks of winter, while basement and roof leaks follow the heavy rains of spring and summer. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
