Local risks: Hickory Grove and York County

The risks in Hickory Grove in York 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• 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
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor

What to do right now

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

• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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

When and where damage happens in Hickory Grove

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.
