Common property damage problems in Taylorsville

Taylorsville 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• 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
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• 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:

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Taylorsville

Whatever the construction type in Taylorsville, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
