What causes water, fire and mold damage in Trevett

Property owners in Trevett 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.

In Trevett, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Trevett property owners

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

• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

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.
