What causes water, fire and mold damage in Center Valley

Center Valley shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Pennsylvania's rolling terrain funnels heavy rain into flash floods, its rivers crest after spring snowmelt and tropical remnants, and its older homes and basements are prone to seepage, sewer backups and burst pipes in winter. Problems tend to peak during spring and the late-summer tropical remnant season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Center Valley, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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 Center Valley

Whatever the construction type in Center Valley, 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.
