Local risks: Bells and Haywood County

Bells shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Tennessee sees some of the most intense rainfall and flash flooding in the Southeast, along with tornado outbreaks, ice storms and humid summers that keep crawlspaces damp. Much of the state's housing sits over crawlspaces or partial basements where moisture problems start. Problems tend to peak during spring storm season and winter ice, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

Before the crew arrives

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

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Bells

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
