Local risks: North Falmouth and Barnstable County

North Falmouth 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in North Falmouth

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.
