What causes water, fire and mold damage in Jefferson

Property owners in Jefferson deal with the same regional risks found throughout Georgia. Georgia's humid subtropical climate, heavy rain events and occasional tropical systems moving inland keep crawlspaces and basements damp, and the state's spring severe-weather season produces wind and hail damage. Clay soils that swell and shrink also stress foundations and buried plumbing. Problems tend to peak during spring storm season and late summer, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics

Before the crew arrives

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Jefferson

Every property type in Jefferson has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

Hurricane season brings the largest losses, but year-round humidity and heavy summer rain keep crews busy every month. Late summer and fall bring wildfire smoke and structure fire risk, while kitchen fires remain the leading cause year-round. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
