Common property damage problems in Mastic

Property owners in Mastic 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.

In Mastic, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

What to do right now

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

• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

When and where damage happens in Mastic

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.
