Common property damage problems in Dallas

Dallas shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

In Dallas, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• 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
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

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
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Dallas

Every property type in Dallas 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.
