What causes water, fire and mold damage in Carrboro

Local conditions in Carrboro follow the broader pattern across North Carolina. North Carolina's coast and inland river basins flood during hurricanes and tropical storms, the mountains see flash floods and landslides, and the Piedmont's crawlspace homes trap humidity that leads to mold. Summer thunderstorms and ice storms add roof and tree damage. Problems tend to peak during hurricane season, with winter ice storms, 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
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

First steps for Carrboro property owners

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
• 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
• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

When and where damage happens in Carrboro

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.
