What causes water, fire and mold damage in Kosciusko

Kosciusko shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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:

• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

First steps for Kosciusko property owners

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

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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Kosciusko

Every property type in Kosciusko has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
