Common property damage problems in Fayetteville

The risks in Fayetteville in Fayette County are shaped by West Virginia's climate and housing. 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.

In Fayetteville, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

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

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