Common property damage problems in Deland

Property owners in Deland deal with the same regional risks found throughout Florida. Florida's year-round humidity, intense afternoon storms and hurricane season create the most mold-friendly conditions in the country, and air-conditioning condensate leaks are one of the most common sources of interior water damage. Storm surge, roof damage and wind-driven rain during tropical systems account for many of the largest losses. Problems tend to peak during hurricane season (june through november), but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Deland, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

When and where damage happens in Deland

Slab-on-grade construction is common, which means supply lines run beneath the concrete and slab leaks can go unnoticed until flooring buckles or the water bill jumps.

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.
