What causes water, fire and mold damage in Dover

The risks in Dover in Hillsborough County are shaped by Florida's climate and housing. 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Slab leaks that keep flooring and bottom plates damp for months
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

What to do right now

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Dover

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.
