What causes water, fire and mold damage in Dallastown

Local conditions in Dallastown follow the broader pattern across Pennsylvania. 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 Dallastown, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• 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
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

Before the crew arrives

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

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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
