What causes water, fire and mold damage in West Richland

West Richland 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Plumbing connections and water heaters shaken loose by seismic movement
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

When and where damage happens in West Richland

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.
