Camano Island is a rural area of Washington, and like every community it has its share of burst pipes, basement floods, kitchen fires and hidden mold.

Common property damage problems in Camano Island

Camano Island shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Western Washington's long wet season saturates crawlspaces and overwhelms gutters and drainage, with atmospheric rivers producing river flooding, while eastern Washington contends with hard freezes and wildfire. Smoke damage from regional fires is now a recurring summer issue. Problems tend to peak during the november-to-march rainy season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Camano Island, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

First steps for Camano Island property owners

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• 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 Camano Island

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

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. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
