Common property damage problems in Englewood

Local conditions in Englewood follow the broader pattern across 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

What to do right now

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

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.

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.
