What causes water, fire and mold damage in Red Hook

Property owners in Red Hook 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:

• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

What to do right now

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Red Hook

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.
