Local risks: Somers and Tolland County

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

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

First steps for Somers property owners

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

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

Getting help in Somers: how the process works

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in Somers and whether the water is still running or the fire is out.
2. Your call is routed to a local restoration company with availability. They confirm details, give an arrival window and tell you what to do in the meantime.
3. The crew arrives, inspects the damage, stops further loss (extraction, board-up, containment) and explains the scope, timeline and how the insurance process will work.
4. Mitigation, cleaning and drying proceed with daily monitoring, and repairs restore the property to pre-loss condition.

When and where damage happens in Somers

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

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.
