What causes water, fire and mold damage in Arcadia

Arcadia shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. South Carolina's Lowcountry floods from storm surge and extreme rainfall, the Midlands and Upstate see flash flooding and severe storms, and year-round humidity keeps crawlspaces damp enough to grow mold. Air-conditioning condensate leaks are a frequent cause of ceiling damage. Problems tend to peak during hurricane season (june through november), but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Arcadia, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

First steps for Arcadia property owners

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

• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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 Arcadia

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.
