Common property damage problems in Hauppauge

Property owners in Hauppauge deal with the same regional risks found throughout New York. New York ranges from dense pre-war apartment buildings in the city to lake-effect snow country upstate, so water damage comes from everything from burst risers and sewer backups to ice dams and roof collapse. Coastal storms and intense rainfall have repeatedly flooded basements across the metro area. Problems tend to peak during winter and the late-summer storm season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

What to do right now

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

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• 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

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. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
