Common property damage problems in Madisonville

Madisonville 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

First steps for Madisonville property owners

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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Madisonville

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

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.
