What causes water, fire and mold damage in Bagdad

Bagdad shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Kentucky's hollows and river valleys are highly exposed to flash flooding, and the state also sees tornado outbreaks, ice storms and humid summers that keep crawlspaces damp. Hillside homes with crawlspaces and basements are especially prone to groundwater intrusion. Problems tend to peak during late winter and spring, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Bagdad, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

What to do right now

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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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 Bagdad

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
