What causes water, fire and mold damage in Snoqualmie

Property owners in Snoqualmie 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:

• Plumbing connections and water heaters shaken loose by seismic movement
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Damp crawlspaces with mold on floor joists and subfloor

What to do right now

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

• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
