Common property damage problems in East Vassalboro

Property owners in East Vassalboro deal with the same regional risks found throughout Maine. Maine's long, severe winters make frozen pipes, ice dams and roof leaks from heavy snow load the leading causes of water damage, often in older farmhouses and camps that are not continuously heated. Spring thaw and coastal nor'easters flood basements and crawlspaces. Problems tend to peak during deep winter and the spring thaw, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in East Vassalboro

Many homes date back decades, with galvanized pipes, cast iron sewer lines and electrical systems that were never designed for modern loads.

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. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
