Common property damage problems in Sewaren

Local conditions in Sewaren 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.

In Sewaren, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

What to do right now

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

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

When and where damage happens in Sewaren

Whatever the construction type in Sewaren, 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.
