What causes water, fire and mold damage in Glenn Dale

Glenn Dale shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Maryland stretches from Chesapeake Bay tidal communities to the mountains, so flood risk ranges from storm surge to flash floods in steep stream valleys. Humid summers, older housing in Baltimore and the inner suburbs, and basement-heavy construction make mold and sewer backups common complaints. Problems tend to peak during summer thunderstorms and the fall tropical season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• 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

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Glenn Dale

Whatever the construction type in Glenn Dale, 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.
