What causes water, fire and mold damage in Denton

Denton 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

What to do right now

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Denton

Whatever the construction type in Denton, 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.
