Common property damage problems in Gable

Gable 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:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

First steps for Gable property owners

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

How it works

1. You call (888) 755-3821 and tell us what you are dealing with and your Gable 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.

When and where damage happens in Gable

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.
