Local risks: Macclesfield and Edgecombe County

Property owners in Macclesfield 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• 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
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

What to do right now

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

When and where damage happens in Macclesfield

Whatever the construction type in Macclesfield, 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.
