What causes water, fire and mold damage in Eccles

Eccles shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. West Virginia's narrow mountain valleys are among the most flash-flood-prone in the nation, and older homes on hillsides with crawlspaces and block basements take on water repeatedly. Winter freezes and humid summers round out the risk. Problems tend to peak during spring and early summer, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Eccles

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. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
