Common property damage problems in Sealevel

Local conditions in Sealevel 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics
• 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:

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

From your call to a crew at the door

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in Sealevel and whether the water is still running or the fire is out.
2. We connect you with a restoration company that covers your ZIP code and has crews available. In most cases they contact you within minutes and schedule an emergency response measured in hours.
3. The crew arrives, inspects the damage, stops further loss (extraction, board-up, containment) and explains the scope, timeline and how the insurance process will work.
4. Drying, cleaning or remediation continues with daily readings until the structure is verified dry and clean; reconstruction follows.

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Sealevel

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

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.
