What causes water, fire and mold damage in San Bernardino

Property owners in San Bernardino 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
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Plumbing connections and water heaters shaken loose by seismic movement
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in San Bernardino

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

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.
