What causes water, fire and mold damage in Indian Lake Estates

Property owners in Indian Lake Estates 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

Before the crew arrives

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Indian Lake Estates

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.
