Common property damage problems in Metairie

Metairie 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• 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
• 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:

• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Metairie, 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.
