What causes water, fire and mold damage in Rion

Local conditions in Rion follow the broader pattern across 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:

• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• 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:

• 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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
