Local risks: Marlborough and Middlesex County

Marlborough shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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 Marlborough, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• 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• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

Before the crew arrives

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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

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.
