Local risks: Seven Springs and Wayne County

The risks in Seven Springs in Wayne County are shaped by North Carolina's climate and housing. 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:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• 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
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor

What to do right now

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

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
