What causes water, fire and mold damage in Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Louisiana faces hurricanes and tropical storms, extreme rainfall rates that overwhelm drainage, river and backwater flooding and relentless humidity. Slab homes flood from the ground up, and mold growth after any water event is fast and aggressive. Problems tend to peak during hurricane season and the spring rainy season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Baton Rouge, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics

What to do right now

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Baton Rouge

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

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.
