What causes water, fire and mold damage in Mendon

The risks in Mendon in Worcester County are shaped by Massachusetts's climate and housing. 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:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• 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
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Mendon property owners

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

• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• 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

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.
