Local risks: New Vineyard and Franklin County

Property owners in New Vineyard 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• 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
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

What to do right now

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

• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
