Common property damage problems in East Olympia

The risks in East Olympia are shaped by Washington's climate and housing. 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.

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
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

What to do right now

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

When and where damage happens in East Olympia

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.
