Common property damage problems in Water View

Property owners in Water View deal with the same regional risks found throughout Virginia. 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:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

What to do right now

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Water View

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.
