Local risks: Valley Cottage and Rockland County

Valley Cottage shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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 Valley Cottage, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

First steps for Valley Cottage property owners

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

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• 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
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Valley Cottage

Whatever the construction type in Valley Cottage, 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.
