What causes water, fire and mold damage in Clemson

Local conditions in Clemson 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

First steps for Clemson 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
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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

When and where damage happens in Clemson

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.
