What causes water, fire and mold damage in Slater

The risks in Slater in Greenville 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.

In Slater, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

What to do right now

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

• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Slater, 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.
