What causes water, fire and mold damage in Hawthorne

Hawthorne shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. California's property damage risks are unusually varied: wildfire and smoke damage in the wildland-urban interface, atmospheric-river storms that overwhelm roofs and drainage in winter, post-fire debris flows, and the everyday slab leaks and supply-line failures found in slab-on-grade housing. Older housing stock in coastal cities adds aging plumbing and wiring to the list. Problems tend to peak during wildfire season in late summer and fall, storm season in winter, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Plumbing connections and water heaters shaken loose by seismic movement
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

What to do right now

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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 Hawthorne

Whatever the construction type in Hawthorne, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

Storm season produces the biggest spikes in calls, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen every month of the year. Late summer and fall bring wildfire smoke and structure fire risk, while kitchen fires remain the leading cause year-round. The long wet season keeps crawlspaces, siding and window frames damp, and mold follows wherever drying lags behind the rain.
