Local risks: West Hartland and Hartford County

West Hartland shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

What to do right now

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

• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in West Hartland, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
