What causes water, fire and mold damage in Shiner

Property owners in Shiner deal with the same regional risks found throughout Texas. Texas has every major cause of water damage: Gulf hurricanes and extreme rainfall on the coast, flash floods in the Hill Country, hail and tornadoes across the north, and winter freezes that burst pipes in homes built for heat. Slab foundations over expansive clay make slab leaks common, and long cooling seasons produce air-conditioning condensate overflows. Problems tend to peak during spring storms, hurricane season and occasional winter freezes, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

First steps for Shiner property owners

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

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

When and where damage happens in Shiner

Every property type in Shiner 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.
