Local risks: Mount Arlington and Morris County

Property owners in Mount Arlington 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

First steps for Mount Arlington property owners

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

• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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

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.
