What causes water, fire and mold damage in Sebring

Sebring shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

First steps for Sebring property owners

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

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Many homes sit on concrete slabs, so leaks under the floor show up as warm spots, damp carpet or cracked tile rather than a visible drip.

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.
