Common property damage problems in Suitland

Property owners in Suitland deal with the same regional risks found throughout Maryland. 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:

• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

Before the crew arrives

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

Whatever the construction type in Suitland, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
