What causes water, fire and mold damage in Taylor

Taylor 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:

• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

Before the crew arrives

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

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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Taylor

Whatever the construction type in Taylor, 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.
