What causes water, fire and mold damage in Wareham

The risks in Wareham in Plymouth 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.

In Wareham, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• 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
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

First steps for Wareham property owners

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

When and where damage happens in Wareham

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.
