What causes water, fire and mold damage in Aurora

Property owners in Aurora deal with the same regional risks found throughout Oregon. Western Oregon's long rainy season saturates crawlspaces and finds every roof and window flashing flaw, while the east side of the Cascades deals with hard freezes and wildfire. Smoke damage from large summer wildfires affects communities statewide. Problems tend to peak during the october-to-april rainy season and late-summer fire season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Plumbing connections and water heaters shaken loose by seismic movement
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

Before the crew arrives

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Aurora

Whatever the construction type in Aurora, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
