What causes water, fire and mold damage in Awendaw

Local conditions in Awendaw follow the broader pattern across South Carolina. 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 Awendaw, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• 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
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

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
• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Awendaw, 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.
