Local risks: Kaumakani and Kauai County

Property owners in Kaumakani deal with the same regional risks found throughout Hawaii. Hawaii's warm, humid trade-wind climate means that any moisture left in a wall or under flooring becomes mold in days, not weeks. Heavy windward rainfall, flash floods in valleys and the occasional tropical system are the main storm-related risks, while salt air accelerates corrosion of plumbing and appliances. Problems tend to peak during the wetter winter months, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Kaumakani, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Slab leaks that keep flooring and bottom plates damp for months

Before the crew arrives

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

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.
