Southmont, North Carolina Restoration Services

When water is spreading across a floor, smoke has filled the house or mold has shown up behind a wall, you need a crew in Southmont today, not a callback next week. Water Restoration connects property owners in Southmont and the surrounding Davidson County area with local restoration companies that handle water extraction, structural drying, fire and smoke cleanup, mold remediation and sewage cleanup, 24 hours a day.

Local properties include older farm homes, newer ranch houses on acreage, seasonal properties and agricultural buildings, and each responds differently to water, smoke and moisture. Rural properties bring their own issues: well pump and pressure tank failures, septic backups, and seasonal homes that sit unheated and unwatched.

What causes water, fire and mold damage in Southmont

Southmont shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

In Southmont, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

Before the crew arrives

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

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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

When and where damage happens in Southmont

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.
