What causes water, fire and mold damage in Southborough

Southborough 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

First steps for Southborough property owners

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

• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

When and where damage happens in Southborough

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.
