Common property damage problems in Ipswich

Property owners in Ipswich 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.

In Ipswich, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

What to do right now

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

• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
