What causes water, fire and mold damage in Calverton

The risks in Calverton are shaped by Virginia's climate and housing. Virginia's Tidewater floods from storm surge and nor'easters, its Piedmont and mountains see flash floods and tropical remnants, and humid summers keep crawlspaces damp. Winter freezes and ice storms still cause burst pipes, particularly in older homes. Problems tend to peak during late summer through fall, and winter cold snaps, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

Before the crew arrives

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

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

How it works

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in Calverton and whether the water is still running or the fire is out.
2. Your call is routed to a local restoration company with availability. They confirm details, give an arrival window and tell you what to do in the meantime.
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. Mitigation, cleaning and drying proceed with daily monitoring, and repairs restore the property to pre-loss condition.

When and where damage happens in Calverton

Basements are standard in this part of the country, so finished lower levels, sump pumps and floor drains are the first things a crew checks.

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.
