Local risks: State Road and Surry County

Local conditions in State Road 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.

In State Road, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• 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
• 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
• 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

How it works

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in State Road 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. On arrival, technicians assess the damage with moisture meters and cameras, stabilize the property and walk you through a written scope before work proceeds.
4. Mitigation, cleaning and drying proceed with daily monitoring, and repairs restore the property to pre-loss condition.

When and where damage happens in State Road

Whatever the construction type in State Road, 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.
