What causes water, fire and mold damage in McComb

The risks in McComb in Hancock County are shaped by Ohio's climate and housing. Ohio's older housing stock, nearly universal basements and heavy spring rain make sewer backups, sump failures and foundation seepage the most common water losses, with burst pipes and ice dams every winter. Lake-effect snow in the northeast and river flooding along the Ohio add seasonal risk. Problems tend to peak during winter and the spring rainy season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In McComb, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

Before the crew arrives

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

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.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
