What causes water, fire and mold damage in Waynesboro

Waynesboro 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:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• 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
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

What to do right now

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Waynesboro

Every property type in Waynesboro has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
