What causes water, fire and mold damage in Plainfield

Property owners in Plainfield 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

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.
