Local properties include homes spread across the countryside, many on private wells and septic systems, along with barns, shops and seasonal cabins, and each responds differently to water, smoke and moisture.

Common property damage problems in Kittery Point

Local conditions in Kittery Point 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:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

First steps for Kittery Point property owners

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

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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Kittery Point

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.
