Common property damage problems in Glen Ferris

Glen Ferris 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

What to do right now

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

• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Every property type in Glen Ferris has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
