What causes water, fire and mold damage in Clarington

Clarington shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Ohio's older housing stock, nearly universal basements and heavy spring rain make sewer backups, sump failures and foundation seepage the most common water losses, with burst pipes and ice dams every winter. Lake-effect snow in the northeast and river flooding along the Ohio add seasonal risk. Problems tend to peak during winter and the spring rainy season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• 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
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

When and where damage happens in Clarington

Every property type in Clarington 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.
