Local risks: Jacksonville and Onslow County

Local conditions in Jacksonville 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor

What to do right now

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

• 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
• 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
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Jacksonville

Every property type in Jacksonville 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.
