Local risks: Mendenhall and Simpson County

Property owners in Mendenhall deal with the same regional risks found throughout Mississippi. 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics

First steps for Mendenhall 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• 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
• 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 Mendenhall, 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.
