What causes water, fire and mold damage in Millwood

Local conditions in Millwood follow the broader pattern across Kentucky. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor

Before the crew arrives

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

When and where damage happens in Millwood

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.
