What causes water, fire and mold damage in Wake

The risks in Wake in Middlesex County 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

Before the crew arrives

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

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Wake

Most homes here have basements, and that is where the majority of water damage ends up, whether from sump failures, foundation seepage or a leak upstairs that ran down through the floor.

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.
