Common property damage problems in Hollywood

Property owners in Hollywood 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• 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:

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

From your call to a crew at the door

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Hollywood, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
