What causes water, fire and mold damage in Tellico Plains

Tellico Plains 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Toilet and tub overflows
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

What to do right now

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• 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

How it works

3. On arrival, technicians assess the damage with moisture meters and cameras, stabilize the property and walk you through a written scope before work proceeds.
4. Drying, cleaning or remediation continues with daily readings until the structure is verified dry and clean; reconstruction follows.

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Tellico Plains

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.
