Local risks: Lackey and the surrounding area

Lackey shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Standing water and wet insulation in 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
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

First steps for Lackey property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

When and where damage happens in Lackey

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.
