Common property damage problems in East Bridgewater

Property owners in East Bridgewater deal with the same regional risks found throughout 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

First steps for East Bridgewater 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
• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

When and where damage happens in East Bridgewater

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.
