What causes water, fire and mold damage in Newfield

Newfield shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

In Newfield, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

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
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Newfield

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.
