Local risks: Fingerville and Spartanburg County

Fingerville 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

What to do right now

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

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

When and where damage happens in Fingerville

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.
