Common property damage problems in Kiln

The risks in Kiln in Hancock County are shaped by Mississippi's climate and housing. Mississippi is exposed to Gulf hurricanes, frequent tornadoes, flash flooding and Mississippi River crests, and the humid climate means wet crawlspaces and attics develop mold rapidly. Many homes sit on piers over crawlspaces that collect moisture year-round. Problems tend to peak during spring severe weather and hurricane season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics

First steps for Kiln property owners

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
