Common property damage problems in Davis Station

Property owners in Davis Station deal with the same regional risks found throughout 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

First steps for Davis Station property owners

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• 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
• 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 Davis Station

Whatever the construction type in Davis Station, 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.
