Local risks: Moundsville and Marshall County

Property owners in Moundsville deal with the same regional risks found throughout 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• 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
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

First steps for Moundsville property owners

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• 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

How it works

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Every property type in Moundsville 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.
