What causes water, fire and mold damage in Concord

The risks in Concord in Merrimack County are shaped by New Hampshire's climate and housing. New Hampshire's cold winters, heavy snow and spring mud season make frozen pipes, ice dams and wet basements the dominant water problems, often in older homes and seasonal properties that sit unheated. Nor'easters bring wind-driven rain and power outages that disable sump pumps. Problems tend to peak during winter and the 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:

• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring

Before the crew arrives

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Concord, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
