What causes water, fire and mold damage in Cleveland

Cleveland 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 Cleveland, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

First steps for Cleveland property owners

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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Getting help in Cleveland: how the process works

1. You call (888) 755-3821 and tell us what you are dealing with and your Cleveland address.
2. We connect you with a restoration company that covers your ZIP code and has crews available. In most cases they contact you within minutes and schedule an emergency response measured in hours.
3. On arrival, technicians assess the damage with moisture meters and cameras, stabilize the property and walk you through a written scope before work proceeds.
4. Drying, cleaning or remediation continues with daily readings until the structure is verified dry and clean; reconstruction follows.

• You can ask about licensing, insurance and IICRC certification before any work begins, and you should
• There is no cost or obligation to call and talk through what you are seeing
• A live person answers around the clock, because water and fire do not keep business hours

When and where damage happens in Cleveland

Whatever the construction type in Cleveland, 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.
