What causes water, fire and mold damage in Allentown

Property owners in Allentown deal with the same regional risks found throughout New Jersey. New Jersey is densely built, with older housing, finished basements and extensive coastal and riverside development, so nor'easters, tropical remnants and flash floods regularly cause widespread water damage. Winter freezes still generate large numbers of burst-pipe claims. Problems tend to peak during late summer tropical season and winter, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

What to do right now

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

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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. 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.
