What causes water, fire and mold damage in Silver Creek

Silver Creek 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

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

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.
