What causes water, fire and mold damage in Salsbury Cove

Salsbury Cove 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

First steps for Salsbury Cove property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

Many homes date back decades, with galvanized pipes, cast iron sewer lines and electrical systems that were never designed for modern loads.

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.
