Common property damage problems in Geismar

Local conditions in Geismar follow the broader pattern across Louisiana. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

What to do right now

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

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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Geismar

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.
