Local risks: Carthage and Moore County

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

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

Before the crew arrives

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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Carthage

Every property type in Carthage 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.
