What causes water, fire and mold damage in Duncan

The risks in Duncan in Spartanburg County are shaped by South Carolina's climate and housing. 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 Duncan, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

What to do right now

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

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Duncan

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.
