What causes water, fire and mold damage in East Berlin

The risks in East Berlin in Hartford County are shaped by Connecticut's climate and housing. Connecticut's older housing stock, nor'easters and hard winter freezes make burst pipes, ice dams and wet basements routine problems, while coastal towns on Long Island Sound also face storm surge and wind-driven rain. Humid summers mean damp basements can turn into mold problems without dehumidification. Problems tend to peak during mid-winter and the spring thaw, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

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.

The coldest stretches of winter produce a surge in frozen and burst pipe calls, and the spring thaw brings the groundwater problems that follow. 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.
