What causes water, fire and mold damage in Dunbarton

Property owners in Dunbarton deal with the same regional risks found throughout New Hampshire. 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.

In Dunbarton, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

First steps for Dunbarton property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

4. Drying, cleaning or remediation continues with daily readings until the structure is verified dry and clean; reconstruction follows.

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Dunbarton

Whatever the construction type in Dunbarton, 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.
