Common property damage problems in Buzzards Bay

Local conditions in Buzzards Bay follow the broader pattern across Massachusetts. Massachusetts has some of the oldest housing in the country, and nor'easters, hard freezes and ice dams repeatedly find the weak points in older roofs and plumbing. Finished basements across the suburbs are vulnerable to spring groundwater and failing sump pumps. Problems tend to peak during winter and the early spring thaw, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Buzzards Bay, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

What to do right now

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

• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Buzzards Bay

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. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
