Common property damage problems in Price

Price shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Maryland stretches from Chesapeake Bay tidal communities to the mountains, so flood risk ranges from storm surge to flash floods in steep stream valleys. Humid summers, older housing in Baltimore and the inner suburbs, and basement-heavy construction make mold and sewer backups common complaints. Problems tend to peak during summer thunderstorms and the fall tropical season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

What to do right now

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

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
