Local risks: Manville and Somerset County

The risks in Manville in Somerset County are shaped by New Jersey's climate and housing. 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:

• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

First steps for Manville property owners

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

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

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 calendar matters here: burst pipes cluster in the coldest weeks of winter, while basement and roof leaks follow the heavy rains of spring and summer. 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.
