What causes water, fire and mold damage in Tewksbury

Property owners in Tewksbury 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Toilet and tub overflows
• 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
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Tewksbury

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.
