What causes water, fire and mold damage in Whitinsville

Property owners in Whitinsville 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

First steps for Whitinsville property owners

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

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

When and where damage happens in Whitinsville

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.
