Local risks: Jericho and Nassau County

The risks in Jericho in Nassau County are shaped by New York's climate and housing. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• 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
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Jericho property owners

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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Jericho

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