What causes water, fire and mold damage in Five Points

Property owners in Five Points deal with the same regional risks found throughout Tennessee. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor

First steps for Five Points property owners

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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

2. We connect you with a restoration company that covers your ZIP code and has crews available. In most cases they contact you within minutes and schedule an emergency response measured in hours.
3. The crew arrives, inspects the damage, stops further loss (extraction, board-up, containment) and explains the scope, timeline and how the insurance process will work.

When and where damage happens in Five Points

Whatever the construction type in Five Points, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
