Local risks: Winston Salem and Forsyth County

Local conditions in Winston Salem 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:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• 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
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• 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
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Winston Salem

Whatever the construction type in Winston Salem, 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.
