What causes water, fire and mold damage in Pleasant Hill

Property owners in Pleasant Hill deal with the same regional risks found throughout California. 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:

• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Plumbing connections and water heaters shaken loose by seismic movement
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

What to do right now

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

• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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

When and where damage happens in Pleasant Hill

Every property type in Pleasant Hill has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
