Local risks: White Rock and Richland County

The risks in White Rock in Richland 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

Before the crew arrives

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

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in White Rock

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.
