Raleigh, North Carolina Restoration Services

Raleigh is a major metropolitan center in North Carolina, home to roughly 499,800 residents, and like every community it has its share of burst pipes, basement floods, kitchen fires and hidden mold. Water Restoration gives residents and businesses one number to call for all of it: (888) 755-3821, answered around the clock and routed to a restoration company that serves all 44 Raleigh ZIP codes, including 27601, 27602, 27603.

Housing in Raleigh includes high-rise condominiums, older apartment buildings, dense single-family neighborhoods and large commercial and industrial properties. Multi-unit buildings are a particular concern here: a leak on one floor becomes a claim on three.

Common property damage problems in Raleigh

Property owners in Raleigh 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:

• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

Before the crew arrives

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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Raleigh

Whatever the construction type in Raleigh, 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.
