Common property damage problems in Macarthur

Local conditions in Macarthur follow the broader pattern across West Virginia. 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 Macarthur, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Standing water and wet insulation in crawlspaces
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

When and where damage happens in Macarthur

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.
