What causes water, fire and mold damage in Pamplico

Pamplico 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• 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
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

Before the crew arrives

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
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Pamplico

Whatever the construction type in Pamplico, 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.
