Local risks: New Windsor and Orange County

Property owners in New Windsor 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• 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
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• 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:

• 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
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

When and where damage happens in New Windsor

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