What causes water, fire and mold damage in Hulls Cove

Local conditions in Hulls Cove follow the broader pattern across 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

What to do right now

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

• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Hulls Cove

Older housing stock adds aging plumbing, cast iron drains and original wiring to the list of things that fail.

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.
