Common property damage problems in Society Hill

Society Hill 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.

In Society Hill, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

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

When and where damage happens in Society Hill

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.
