What causes water, fire and mold damage in Granger

Property owners in Granger deal with the same regional risks found throughout Washington. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

Before the crew arrives

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

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

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

The calendar matters here: burst pipes cluster in the coldest weeks of winter, while basement and roof leaks follow the heavy rains of spring and summer. 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.
