Local risks: Temple and Hillsborough County

Temple shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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:

• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

First steps for Temple property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Temple

Every property type in Temple has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
