Common property damage problems in Goose Creek

Property owners in Goose Creek 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• 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
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics

What to do right now

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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Goose Creek

Every property type in Goose Creek has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
