What causes water, fire and mold damage in Una

The risks in Una in Spartanburg 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 Una, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

What to do right now

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

• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Una

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.
