Common property damage problems in Ocean Park

The risks in Ocean Park in York County are shaped by Maine's climate and housing. 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 Ocean Park, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

First steps for Ocean Park property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Ocean Park

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.
