What causes water, fire and mold damage in Pauline

Pauline 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:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• 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

Before the crew arrives

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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Pauline

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.
